Delta State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, made this disclosure through a statement issued on Wednesday in Asaba, the state capital.
“Delta State Police command, in a combined effort with men of Operation Delta Sweep recorded a breakthrough in the fight against Kidnapping in the state.
“On September 17, 2025, at 11 am, the DPO Owa-oyibu received information that some kidnappers were sighted at Nniogbo Owa Ekei Boji Boji Owa.
“Acting on this information, the DPO led a combined team of Policemen and vigilantes alongside two teams of Operation Delta sweep and swung into action. The combined teams stormed the bush where the suspects, upon sighting the teams, opened fire, which was repelled by the teams.
“In the fierce gun duel, two of the suspected kidnappers sustained gunshot injuries and were taken to Owa-Alero general hospital, where they were confirmed dead by the doctor on duty,.” the state police-image-maker said in the statement.
According to Edafe, one AK-47 rifle, with forty rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, and two magazines were recovered from the hoodlums while the manhunt for the other fleeing suspects was ongoing.
