The Police Command in Delta has arrested two suspected kidnappers in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Warri.
Edafe said the suspects were apprehended by the command’s tactical team following credible intelligence.
He said the suspects were arrested on Friday at two separate locations in Warri and Ughelli.
“On April 24, operatives of the command’s tactical team, acting on credible intelligence, arrested one of the suspects in the Ekuigbo area of Ughelli.
“The suspect was arrested in connection with a kidnapping syndicate terrorising commuters along the Ughelli–Warri Road.
“Further interrogation led to the arrest of the second suspect at Trailer Park on the Warri–Sapele Road,” he said.
Edafe said an AK-47 rifle loaded with 36 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition was recovered from the suspects.
The PPRO said the suspects were currently in custody, adding that investigation into the matter was ongoing. (NAN)
