A deadly kidnapper terrorizing Delta state residents has
been apprehended by security operatives in the Niger
Delta. This was revealed by the Deputy Co-ordinator of
the Operation Delta Safe’s Joint Media Campaign Centre,
Thomas Otuji, who said that the troops of operation, in
conjunction with the Nigerian police and vigilante group
also rescued a kidnap victim.
The victim, Mrs Patience Abere, who is the Chief Matron
of Ughelli Central Hospital, was abducted by three
armed men in her car, at her residence in Delta State.
According to ChannelsTV, a statement issued by the
spokesman for the command headquarters of ‘Operation
Delta Safe’ in Yenagoa, Lieutenant Thomas Otuji, said
the arrest was part of the recent successes recorded in
the ongoing special operation against oil theft and other
related crimes in the Niger Delta.
Police are now looking for the other two suspects who
fled on sighting the troops, one of the suspects,
Innocent Egboboh, was apprehended while two locally
made pistols and three live cartridges were recovered
from the criminals.
Similarly, troops of Sector-One also trailed and arrested
suspected kidnappers, one Mr Simon Agbabule and his
accomplice at Okwugbude community in Okpe Local
Government Area, Delta State.
The criminals were on their way to kidnap a victim when
the troop monitored and swung on them.
Items recovered included one AK 47 rifle, two magazines
and 49 pieces of 7.62mm special ammunition.
Aside successes recorded in the fight against
kidnapping, they also achieved some success in the
battle against illegal bunkering operations and
attempted inducement of their troops.
During a static operation the troops arrested one Mr
Salisu Mohammed Zayyan, a driver of a petroleum tanker
marked ‘Iveco’, with inscription of major petroleum
marketer, Con-oil.
The tanker was reported to be containing 33,000 liters of
substance suspected to be illegally refined Automated
Gas Oil (AGO).
The suspect confirmed to have illegally loaded the
product from Port Harcourt and was heading to Zamfara
State.
Furthermore, while on patrol, troops intercepted one Mr
Kesiena Oloya conveying 35 x 25 litre Jerri cans, filled
with substance suspected to be illegal AGO along
Jeremi junction also in Ughelli south.
Items impounded include two Vento cars and a Nokia
mobile phone.
The suspect, who attempted bribing troops with the
sum of 29,500 Naira, was arrested and handed over to
the police, while the vehicles were set ablaze.
Two white Hilux vehicles, one which disguised as an
escort vehicle with an escort tag as plate number and
the other suspected to be carrying illegal refined ago
were also intercepted by the troops.
The occupants were arrested along Kwale Asaba
expressway, Ndokwa West Local Government Area, Delta
State.
While appreciating the untiring support of the public for
providing timely information to the command, officers of
the Operation Delta Safe, reaffirmed their commitment to
fighting crime in Niger Delta.
According to them, “no amount of inducement by
recalcitrant criminals will compromise the resilient
troops from ridding economic saboteurs from the
region”.
