Delta state Police command Wednesday December 14, 2022 killed a notorious kidnapper along Owhelogbo road in Ozoro local government area of the state.  

A statement by the police spokesman, DSP Bright Edafe reads in part:  “On 13/12/2022, at about 0200hours, the DPO Ozoro received a distress call, that the residence of one man (name withheld) along Owhelogbo road, Ozoro in Isoko North LGA, was attacked by assailants who shot at him, forced him into the trunk of his own car, and took him away.

“The DPO, CSP Ogedengbe Areguamen, upon receiving this information, mobilised and led Police operatives/vigilantes to Owelogbo road, and other parts that exit Ozoro in a bid to rescue the kidnapped victim, and possibly, arrest of the suspects. 

“Their effort paid off when they sighted a Corolla car with a registration number that matched the description by the distress caller. 

“In an attempt to intercept them, the suspects abandoned the victim in the trunk of the car, disembarked from the vehicle, fired some shot while escaping into a nearby bush.”
