Two suspected kidnappers have been killed by the Delta State Police Command in the Ekpan area of the State and the victim rescued.
This was made known by DSP Bright Edafe, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state.
He said the Ekpan DPO, CSP Aliyu Shaba in a tip-off information was able to rescue the kidnapped victim.
“On December 30, 2023, a 23-year-old male parked his Black-colored GLK 350 Benz SUV along Jakpa Road leaving his brother inside the vehicle as he went about other activities.
“The owner was alerted that the vehicle was attacked by three armed men who carried the vehicle with his brother in it, driving off to an unknown destination.
“Upon receipt of this information, the Commissioner of Police directed the DPO Ekpan CSP Aliyu Shaba to mobilize operatives and ensure that the victim was rescued and the suspects arrested and brought to book.
“The DPO in compliance with the CP’s directive led a surveillance team attached to the Ekpan division for the operation.
“The team proceeded to a bush at Ekakpamre, where the kidnappers engaged in a serious gun duel with the police.
“In the process, two of the kidnappers were fatally injured, while one of them escaped with gunshot injuries.
“The team also recovered the victim’s vehicle, and three firearms, including two single barrel and one double barrel guns, with two expended cartridges.”
Edafe further said the two injured suspects were taken to the hospital and confirmed dead. While efforts are being made to apprehend the third suspect who escaped with injury.
