The spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe in a statement said the intervention by the CP SAT followed an intelligence-led investigation carried out on kidnapping and other related crimes in Ughelli North and its environs,

“Preliminary investigation revealed that suspects are allegedly responsible for a series of kidnappings and armed robberies around Iyamuge, Otu-Jeremi, Warri, Ughelli, and environs.

“Upon exit from the forest, some hoodlums suspected to be their gang members engaged the Police in a gun duel, during which five of the hoodlums sustained gunshot injuries while others escaped.
