“The operatives, led by ASP Julius Robinson cracked down the deadly kidnapping syndicate responsible for the act on 01/07/2024 at about 1200hrs and arrested one Ismaila Umaru 28yrs ‘m’ of Kekura Village In Awe LGA of Nasarawa state but resident at Oghara town by Power Line, Delta State.

“On 04/07/2024 at about 2030hrs the suspect led operatives to the arrest of two other gang members namely Chede Mohammed ‘m’ 18yrs, a native of Nasarawa State but resident of Agwara in Ughelli South LGA of Delta State, and Mohammadu Sani ‘m’ 26yrs, a native of Banbiru area of Abuja but resident at Upper Agbarho Area of Ughelli North.

“Acting on their confession at about 0530hrs of 05/07/2024, the operative stormed the bush by Oviri-ogor where one AK 49 rifle was recovered in the hideout,”

According to the Delta State police spokesman, the state’s Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi, reacted to the incessant kidnapping in Ughelli axis, which necessitated the change in the security architecture in the area, and deployed a new Divisional Police Officer to the Ugheli Division.

“The CP also directed the deployment of a special operations team to Ughelli led by ASP Julius Robisnson with a clear mandate to flush out kidnapers in the area.

“This proactive measure taken by the CP has been paying off and is still paying off,” Edafe stated.
