Anambra State Security Forces on Sunday neutralised a deadly gang of kidnappers terrorizing people along Nkpor-Umuoji-Ideani road, all in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
Four members of the kidnap gang met their waterloo after a gun duel with security operatives following intelligence report while some arrests were made.
Security forces acting on intelligence report swooped on the areas and after an intense gun battle effectively despatched four of the deadly criminals to the great beyond and also made some arrests.
Those arrested are currently cooling off in detention, while assisting security agencies in their investigation to unravel the whereabouts of other kidnappers who are on the run.
Items recovered from the suspects include a Lexus Jeep and some sophisticated weapons including charms tied around their waists.
