Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have killed three of the kidnappers involved in the failed attempt to abduct the wife of a serving member of the Delta State House of Assembly.

Recall that on Monday, September 2, 2024, at Okoloba Junction off the popular Jakpa Road in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, a gang of suspected kidnappers, in an attempt to abduct the wife of the Delta lawmaker, shot dead two mobile Policemen escort and the driver to their target, Mr. David Imela.

Giving details of how men of the command went about tracking the kidnappers, the spokesperson, SP Bright Edge, in a statement said on the day of the unfortunate incident “Police operatives of Ebrumede Division led by the DPO CSP Iwok Ndifereke strategically deployed and created an artificial hold-up at DSC roundabout and sighted the vehicle as described with a matching registration number.

“On noticing the traffic and sighting the policemen, the hoodlums opened fire on the team, which the team equally responded professionally, owning to the busy nature of the area. The hoodlums immediately abandoned the vehicle, shattered with bullets, and escaped with bullet injuries. Three AK-47 rifles and their operational vehicle with registration no. WWR-436-GZ were recovered.

“The CP not satisfied with their escape, directed that the DPO Ebrumede should go all out and ensure the suspects were arrested and brought to book. Armed with available information and exhibit found in the abandoned vehicle, on 3rd October 2024, the DPO Ebrumede Division CSP Iwok Ndifereke led operatives to their hideout in Agbarho, where the Police engaged the suspects in a fierce gun duel, and the Policemen who were prepared for the battle ahead overpowered the hoodlums. Three of the suspects sustained serious gunshot injuries while others escaped and another AK-47 rifle was also recovered.
