“Immediately,the police operatives were mobilized along with the vigilante and hunters into the bush.

“On sighting the police , the criminal elements opened fire. During the gun duel that ensued, two of the hoodlums were gunned down while two were arrested.

“This breakthrough is as a result of the strategies adopted by the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Egbuka, to curtail activities of kidnappers, armed robbers, bandits, and other heinous crimes in the State,” Aya said in the statement.

The Commissioner of Police commended the officers as well
as vigilante and hunters for their prompt response.

He assured members of the public that the police will not rest on its oars in its efforts to ensure safety of lives and property.
