WARRI— POLICEMEN in Delta State have arrested four
members of an infamous kidnap gang in the state, while a vigilante group shot a
suspected bandit at Agbarho.
Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Police
Command, DSP Celestina Kalu, who gave an account of the arrest of the suspected
kidnappers, said: “On June 2, the DPO of Oghara Division arrested Ovie, Peter,
Emmanuel and Idoro, and handed them over to the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad
Asaba for consolidation of investigation.
“The suspects were arrested in connection with
incessant incidents of kidnapping in Oghara and environs. Investigation into
the case yielded positive results as the suspects confessed their membership of
a kidnap gang and said their armourer was one Felix and that one Kehinde
usually provided vehicles for their operations.
“Based on their confession, on June 3, at about 2a.m.,
operatives swung into action and arrested the said Felix and Kehinde at Sapele

pistol and three live cartridges. Meanwhile, investigation is going on.”
