Delta State Police Command’s Special Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Squad (SAKCCS) operatives have arrested a suspected serial kidnapper and three-car thieves in Delta. Unable to withstand the superior firepower of the police operatives, members of the gang reportedly fled into the river with various degrees of gunshot injuries. Two AK-47 rifles, 114 rounds of 7.62 ammunition with six magazines were recovered from the scene while a manhunt for the fleeing members of the gang has begun. Edafe, who’s a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), confirmed the arrest of the suspected kidnap kingpin and car thieves, adding that investigations were ongoing to nab fleeing kidnap suspects. He urged members of the public to provide useful information to the police that will lead to the arrest of the other fleeing members of the gang with an assurance of confidentiality.
