Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Timfon John on disclosed Monday that the gang was responsible for series of high-profile kidnapping in Ikot Ekpene, Essien Udim local government areas and the surrounding locations in the State.

She said, “Acting on credible intelligence, a joint tactical team of the Command stormed multiple criminal hideouts at Ikpe Annang, Ikpe Ikot Akpan, and Ikot Inyang in Essien Udim LGA. Upon sighting the operatives, the suspects opened fire in a desperate bid to evade arrest.

“The gallant officers responded decisively, engaging them in a gun duel. At the end of the operation, all the five suspects sustained various degrees of injuries and were taken to hospital for medical treatment where one of them died while receiving treatment.”

ASP John added that items recovered from the suspects include 1 AK-47 rifle, 1 G3 rifle, 1 pump-action rifle, 1 locally made dane gun, bag of crayfish and 1 tambourine.
