NOTORIOUS KIDNAPPER, GANG MEMBERS ARRESTED IN CROSS-RIVERS
The Anti-Cultism and Kidnapping unit of the Cross-Rivers State Police Command has arrested a notorious kidnapper, one Solomon Effiom Bassey, along with some members of his notorious gang.
The arrest followed an intelligence report. The Police acted on a tip-off and promptly arrested the suspect at Odukpani.
Solomon Effiom Bassey and his gang members have allegedly carried out a lot of piracy and Kidnapping activities in Odukpani, Calabar and its environs, especially at Ikot Nkebre and Lemna areas of the State.
Their most recent and heartbreaking operation, according to the Police was the kidnap of eight Company workers at the boundary between Uruan Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State and Odukpani Local Government Area in Cross River State, two weeks ago.
Two out of the eight kidnapped victims died in his custody. A ransom of N60M was paid to him and his group to secure the release of the other six victims.
However, under bizarre circumstances, Solomon and his gang members killed the three persons who delivered the ransom money.
The Police Command has vowed not to leave any stone unturned in the investigation.
Details later.
