EDO STATE POLICE COMMAND ARRESTS FIVE SUSPECTED KIDNAPPERS

The Edo State Police command has arrested five suspected kidnappers in a bush on the Lagos-Benin expressway.


The Commissioner of Police in the State, Philip Ogbadu, made this known on Wednesday when he paid a visit to the Commandant, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, George Edem, at the corps headquarters in Benin City.


The Commissioner revealed the arrest was made after security personnel searched the bush upon receiving a distress call in the area.


He stated that there is a need for security agencies to collaborate in fighting all crimes in the State.


“We are here to serve the people of Edo, so there is a need for joint service for the good of the people.


“I have tried to make an impact and a difference in the last 21 days after assuming office as the CP in the state.


“After the #EndSARS the morale of people became low but, we need to inject life into it,” he said.


The commissioner also spoke on the need for security chiefs in the state to talk to their personnel on why they should avoid friction and clashes while carrying out their duties.


“We are brothers, so let us not clash. We will encourage our personnel as much as possible,” the CP said.
