Police Neutralise Three Kidnap Suspects In Delta

The Delta State Police Command says it has neutralised three kidnap suspects in the state.
Spokesman of the command, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this to newsmen in Warri last Friday.
Edafe said the deceased hoodlums were neutralised on Tuesday by operatives of the CP – Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT) during a gun duel.
He said the CP-SAT, led by it’s commander, ASP Robinson Julius, were on a surveillance patrol on the Ughelli–Patani Road when they engaged the hoodlums.
“The CP-SAT team were conducting a covert surveillance patrol on the Ughelli–Patani Road.
“The police team flagged down an approaching shuttle bus by Ewhereni Junction.
“Upon sighting the operatives, the occupants of the vehicle opened fire in a bid to escape, leading to an intense exchange of gun duel”, he said.
The command’s spokesman said that three of the suspects sustained severe gunshot injuries while others escaped into the bush.
Edafe said the injured suspects were taken to the hospital, where they later died while receiving treatment.
He also said one AK-47 rifle loaded with 18 rounds of live ammunition were recovered from them.
