A member of a suspected three-man robbery gang has died from gun injuries sustained during exchange of gunfire with men of the Delta State Police Command Rapid Response Squad on stop and search duty along Benin/Asaba Express Road, Umunede in Ika North-East Local Government Area.

A statement by the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe says the RR Squad, “flagged down a Lexus 350 jeep with reg. No. WWR 343 MD, white in colour with three occupants. The suspects on noticing the operatives stopped abruptly and disembarked from the vehicle, shot sporadically and ran into the bush.

“The operatives returned fire and went after them. During the gun duel, one of the hoodlums was fatally wounded while the remaining two escaped with bullets injuries. Upon search, a locally made pistol loaded with a live cartridge and two expended cartridges were recovered from the injured suspect.

“The injured suspect was immediately rushed to the hospital where he gave up the ghost while receiving treatment. The Lexus 350 Jeep was recovered. Intelligence later revealed that the vehicle was snatched from the owner at gunpoint around Warri on Saturday 18/9/2021. Manhunt for the fleeing members of the gang is ongoing.”

Also, on Thursday, men of Operation Delta Hawk Patrol teams stationed at Agbor following tip-off arrested one Daniel Banjo, aged 24 of No. 3 Baptist Mission Street Agbor, who was sighted in possession of a one locally-made double barrel pistol with two live cartridges.
