Security operatives comprising personnel of the Nigerian Army 63 Brigade, Asaba, and the Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Delta State Police Command with Edo-Ogwashi Security have gunned down two suspected kidnappers at Edo-Ogwashi-Uku Community in the state, just as other members of the criminal gang fled the crime scene with bullet wounds.
The operatives also recovered from the kidnappers one AK-47 rifle, three loaded AK-47 magazines, and 16 rounds of live ammunition.
A human rights activist and security advocate, Comrade Harrison Gwamnishu, who disclosed this on his Facebook timeline, said, “The success of this operation was facilitated by the TRACKER from the Delta State Government House Asaba.”
He said the deceased suspects were responsible for the abduction of two female students of the Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku at Azagba-Ogwashi behind Rain Oil Gas Plant and an estate supervisor who was kidnapped at Ubulu-Okiti and shot.
He expressed gratitude to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his unwavering support in ensuring they have the necessary resources.
“Special thanks to the Military 63 Brigade Garrison Commander, military head heading Oshimili North, and military head heading Aniocha South for their prompt response.
“I also appreciate the DPO Ogwashi-Uku for being readily available to assist our people.
“My gratitude goes to my team, particularly Intel Ejemizu Chidozie Peters, for being vigilant and prepared to join me at any time.”
