A combined team of Policemen and Soldiers on Monday October 5, 2015 gunned down a kidnapping suspect during gun duel with suspected kidnappers, who abducted one Bamidele Daudu, Proprietor of an Ozoro based Fast-Food Place, Derag Eateries.
The kidnappers reported to be five in number, invaded the Eatery and took away the said Bamidele Daudu in his Nissan Tera Jeep along Kwale road.
According to a Statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command, DSP Celestina Kalu, the combined team of Policemen and Soldiers on receipt of the information, immediately mobilized and gave the hoodlums a hot pursuit and in the ensuing gun duel, the unidentified hoodlum was killed, while other members of the gang reportedly escaped with bullet wounds into the bush, even as the abducted Daudu was subsequently rescued unhurt.
Apart from the victim’s Nissan Tera Jeep, one locally made cut-to-size single barrel gun and one live cartridge was recovered by the security agents.
