POLICE NEUTRALIZE SUSPECTED KIDNAPPERS, RESCUE VICTIMS IN DELTA STATE
The Operatives of the Delta State Police Command on 31 May 2023 neutralized two suspected kidnappers at about 0120hrs following the engagement of a ferocious gun duel and rescued the kidnapped couple in Udu LGA, Delta State.
The information available indicates that the DPO of the operatives within Ovwian/Aladja Divisional Headquarters received a distress call that a man and his wife were kidnapped and their Lexus Jeep was taken also. Swiftly, the operatives trailed and sabotage the escape route of the suspected kidnappers and ultimately intercepted the vehicle along Warri-Sapele road at Aziza junction.
Immediately the suspects sighted the police, and they opened fire on the operatives in a bid to escape, but the police professionally responded, neutralizing two of the suspects in the process, while the other suspects abandoned the kidnapped couple in the vehicle and escaped.
One AK47 rifle with breach number 16869, forty-six rounds of 7.62 live ammunition, one pump action gun, and thirteen live cartridges were recovered.
Meanwhile, the victims were rescued unhurt, while the operatives launched a manhunt for the fleeing suspects.
