Police operatives in Delta State have arrested five suspected kidnappers who are also believed to be armed robbers in their hideout in Sapele.
The hoodlums were smoked out of their den midnight of August 15, 2021, after a tip-off by the Delta State Police Command Special Anti-cult unit (SACU) operatives at Ogorode, Sapele.
Commissioner of Police, Delta State, Ari Muhammed Ali, at a press briefing on Tuesday, gave names of the five suspects as Nelson Ofurhie, 40, Efe Adams, 32, Williams Onufuevue, 46, Enajitu Itiefie, 37, and Oghenero Eruteta, 37.
According to him, one AK 47 rifle with breech no. KT1921, one locally fabricated AK47 rifle, two pump action guns, two locally made single barrel guns, and 47 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, were recovered from them.
Other items recovered from the five suspects included some quantity of hard drugs, one ash colour Mercedes Benz Jeep with Reg. No. AFZ 735 HW, one white colour Lexus Jeep with Reg. No. KUJ 983 NW and one ash colour Corolla car with Reg. No. SAP 911 MX.
CP Ali, however, pledged that his Command will continue to sustain the tempo and ensure that cultists and other miscreants find it hard to perpetrate their crimes.
