The suspect popularly known as Dogo, was alleged to be the head of a notorious kidnapping syndicate which allegedly killed some policemen during their recent operations.

Dogo who was previously declared wanted by the police, was arrested at Ahor Community near Benin City, when he emerged from a bush with a bag containing items allegedly belonging to one of his victims at about 10 pm on  September 20.

 

His arrest followed a reliable intelligence report received by detectives at Egba Police Station in the Uhunmwonde local government area of the state.

The Edo State Police spokesman, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed that the suspect had been on the Command’s wanted lists for a long time, said: “Investigation has commenced, and the suspect will soon be charged to court.”
