Determined to curb the menace of kidnapping, armed robbery and other related vices in Delta State, the police command in the state has recovered one AK-47 rifle, one magazine, one English pump action gun, and one locally made cut-to-size gun from kidnappers.

Last week, while students of Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara, were having their graduation ceremony, the DPO Oghara Division received credible information that some suspected kidnappers had already perfected plans to kidnap guests who must have come to attend the ceremony.

The DPO Oghara Division, CSP, Olasunkanmi Musiliu, acting on this information, reacted swiftly, mobilised and led operatives of Oghara Division to their hideout in a bush along Otefe/Ovade Legit Road.

The suspected kidnappers, on sighting the Police, took to their heels and escaped with various degrees of gunshot injuries from the gun duel with the police, but their ammunition was recovered.
