“Upon receipt of the information, the divisional police officer, Ugo immediately mobilised his operatives to the scene in hot pursuit of the hoodlums and possible rescue of the victims. The hoodlums sensing the operatives were on their trail were forced to abandon their victims and fled into the bush.

“The victims have since been reunited with their families, while intense bush combing is still ongoing to neutralize or arrest the hoodlums.”

On the murder suspect, the deputy PPRO said: “Sequel to the incident of July 23, 2022 at about 7.30pm in Auchi, Edo State where one Paul Handsome (25 years) was reported to have been stabbed to death by his girlfriend, one Favour Oyhou, who went into hiding.
