The kidnappers who
were planning to stage an attack on innocent citizens that ply the Lokoja-Okene
road, met their waterloo when two of their informants were arrested.
The Senior Special
Adviser (SSA) Security in charge of Okehi Local Government Area, Hon
Abdulraheem Ohiare and his Adavi countapart, Hon Joseph Omuya Salami, had led
the hunters to the hideouts of the kidnappers following intelligent report.
The hunters who were
on patrol at about 4.30 am apprehended the informants, one Mr Godwin Peter a
native of Ikeje in Olamaboro Local Government Area and one Sanni Habib, a
native of Idoji in Okene Local Government Area.
Upon interrogation,
they both confessed that they were informants who give information to
kidnappers for their operations.
The duo
eventually led the hunters alongside the SSA Security from Adavi and Okehi to
the kidnappers' hideouts.
Three sophisticated pump action riffles, bullets, masks and charms were recovered from the kidnappers.
Speaking after the
successful operation, Hon Ohiare and Hon Omuya thanked Governor Yahaya Bello
for his determination in securing Kogi State and ridding it of all
criminalities.
The state Governor,
Yahaya Bello has maintained his stand of not negotiating with any criminal
elements in the state and advice the criminals to turn a new leaf or get ready
to be crushed.
