It was not business as usual by some notorious kidnappers as an attempt to kidnap an unnamed man led to the killing of one of the kidnappers at Ozoro in Delta State.
It was learned that on December 13, 2022, at about 0200hours, the Divisional Police Officer, Ozoro, CSP Ogedengbe Areguamen, received a distress call that a man (name withheld) along Owhelogbo Road, Ozoro in Isoko North LGA, was attacked by assailants who shot at him before forcing him into the trunk of his own car and sped off.
Spokesperson of the Command, DSP Edafe Bright disclosed in a statement in Asaba on Wednesday that upon receiving the information, the DPO mobilized and led Police operatives/vigilantes to Owelogbo road, and other parts that exit Ozoro in a bid to rescue the kidnapped victim, and possibly, arrest of the suspects.
However, they later sighted a Corolla car with a registration number that matched the description given by the distressed caller. In an attempt to intercept them, the suspects abandoned the victim in the trunk of the car, disembarked from the vehicle, fired some shots and escaped into a nearby bush.
The Police operatives relentlessly went after them, and successfully killed one of the suspects while three others escaped.
The Kidnapped victim was rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment, and his vehicle, one locally made cut-to-size double barrel gun was recovered.
An effort to arrest the fleeing suspects is ongoing.
Based on the foregoing, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Ari Muhammed Ali while commending the efforts of DPO Ozoro and his men, appreciated the goodwill of members of the Public for always giving useful and timely information to the Police in the State.
He also encouraged them to continue to partner with the Police in the fight against crime and criminality.
