‎Two suspected kidnappers have been killed following a fierce gun battle with operatives of the Delta State Police Command during a rescue operation related to kidnapping around Upper-Agbarho and its environs in Ughelli.
‎
‎On Monday, SP Bright Edafe revealed in a statement that two policemen are receiving treatment for gunshot injuries while the suspects died at the hospital.
‎
‎Following orders, a team was launched, led by ASP Julius Robinson, to apprehend the two suspects: Abubakar Musa, 28 years old, from Ajase town, Irepodun LGA, Kwara State, but residing in the Abajo area of Port Harcourt, and Yusuf Sale, a 25-year-old from Rimin-Zayam town, Toro LGA, Bauchi State, residing in the New Owerri area of Owerri.

The two led operatives to a bush between Upper-Agbarho and Oviri–Ogor Communities, where one AK-47 with its two magazines and forty-three rounds of live ammunition, one pump-action shotgun, and a locally made pistol were recovered.

‎SP Edafe revealed that the operatives were ambushed on their way out of the bush by other gang members wanting to set the suspects free. During the exchange of gunfire, the suspects and others sustained injuries.
‎
‎Two police operatives also sustained gunshot injuries and are currently receiving treatment.
‎
‎Operatives are currently hunting for the fleeing gang members, while the injured died at the hospital.
