  • The command said suspects flee upon sighting police officers.
  • The spokesperson added that investigation ongoing to apprehend remaining gang members.

The Delta police command has captured a suspected kidnapper and seized a Beretta pistol from him.

A statement released by SP Bright Edafe, the command’s spokesman, revealed that the suspect was arrested on Saturday and made available to the press on Wednesday in Warri.

Initially, operatives led by ASP Julius Robinson thought the suspect was a fraudster, but further investigation linked him to kidnapping cases.

“Consequently, on Oct. 7, 2024, acting on the suspect’s statement, a sum of N500,000 was recovered from his account.

“The amount was part of the N1,100, 000 he shared from the N4,000, 000 collected as ransom from a kidnap victim on Sept. 25, 2024 in Ughelli town,” Edafe said.

The suspect led police to his gang’s hideout, but they fled upon seeing the officers.

Edafe confirmed that one Beretta pistol was recovered and investigations are ongoing.

This recent success follows the Delta Police Command’s efforts to combat kidnapping and cultism, with multiple arrests and recoveries made in recent months.
