Okporo Police Division in Port Harcourt, last Monday gunned down two kidnappers and captured one alive during a gun battle.
An eyewitness, who spoke with our correspondent under the cloak of anonymity in Port Harcourt, yesterday, noted that the gallant police officers led by the Divisional Police Officer, superintendent of Police (SP), Abubakar Umar, had a serious gun battle with the kidnappers before they met their waterloo.
The incident, according to the eyewitness, happened at Rumunduru at about 9pm.
He noted that police responded following a distress call.
He said the gun battle lasted for more than thirty minutes before the hoodlums were vanquished.
“Truly, it has been a long time since police went after kidnappers and robbers even when notified. It shows the new DPO is really working,” he said.
He explained that with the milestone recorded, residents could heave a sigh of relief.
