The voice behind the recording said the location was along Enugu highway which links Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.

Recall that Johnson was kidnapped when she travelled to her hometown for Christmas Day celebration.

The victim passed out on December 17 after completing the Direct Short Service Course.

It was gathered that the Army leadership quickly mobilized its men to rescue her after the news of her disappearance surfaced.

It is suspected that the recording, which circulated on the internet, might have assisted security agencies in tracking the abductors.
