TODAY, ONE AK-47 RIFLE AND LIVE AMMUNITION WERE RECOVERED, WHILE ONE SUSPECTED KIDNAPPER WAS NEUTRALIZED.
Earlier today, operatives of the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad of the Delta State Police Command engaged suspected kidnappers in a gun duel. During the operation, one of the suspects was neutralized and an AK-47 rifle with live ammunition was recovered.
This criminal gang has been terrorizing commuters along the Ogwashi-Uku/Ubulu-Unor Road and the Issele-Uku/Ubulu-Uku Road. Recall that on Sunday, 10th May 2026, the gang reportedly kidnapped a young lady along the Issele-Uku/Ubulu-Uku axis and victim family paid ransom to the kidnappers.
Today, 18th May 2026, intelligence received from SafeCity Forest Intels was swiftly relayed to the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, who immediately acted on the information, trailed the suspects, and engaged them.
DEAR DELTANS, please continue to report cases of kidnapping and suspicious activities discreetly to security authorities. Every credible information shared contributes greatly to the safety of our communities, and results will continue to speak for themselves.
Special appreciation to the Delta State Commissioner of Police and his management team for their dedication and commitment toward securing our communities.
God bless His Excellency, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori , for his continued support to us #MoreSecurity
