A statement issued on Thursday by the command spokesman, Bright Edafe, revealed that the kidnapper was arrested on July 27, by operatives of the CP-Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT) and other police units, who acted on credible intelligence on the activities of some suspected kidnappers in Ogwashi-Uku, Ubulu-uku and Issele-uku.

Edafe disclosed that the team, led by ASP Julius Robinson in a combined effort with operatives from the command’s X-Squad and Buffallo Patrol Teams of the command, stormed the suspected criminal hideout along Ibusa road and effected the arrest.

According to him, the police recovered an AK-47 rifle, 40 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, two pump action guns, and two live cartridges from the kidnapper and his associate, while a fabricated Beretta pistol, four live ammunition, a black cap with Eiye inscription, and a battle axe, were recovered from the cultists.

The Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Abaniwonda, while urging parents and guardians to discourage their children and wards from all forms of criminality and cult-related activities, also advised members of the public to contact the police and report any suspicious persons or movements in their environment.
