The team was led by the Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, accompanied by Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of Operations, Adepoju Olugbenga, and some Area Commanders as well as heads of tactical units, and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs).

LEADERSHIP gathered that the hoodlums were arrested when the operatives combed the vast bush, where kidnappers terrorising Obiri-Ikwerre Airport were suspected to be hibernating, and its environs behind the Adokiye-Amiesimaka Stadium at Igwuruta in Ikwerre local government area of the state.

It was also gathered that more than 12 makeshift tents in camps abandoned by the suspected kidnappers were destroyed.

Speaking with journalists, the deputy commissioner of police, Adepoju Olugbenga, said the raid and arrest of the suspects were a routine exercise.
