BREAKING: Nigerian Police Kill Notorious Abuja Kidnapper Terrorizing Residents

Nigeria Police Force operatives killed notorious Kidnapper (bandit) Isa Dei-Dei in Abuja during a raid on a bandit hideout in the suburb.

VerseNews reports that the operation, led by the Department of Force Intelligence of the Intelligence Response Team, resulted in Dei-Dei’s neutralization while other gang members escaped with gunshot injuries.

The public was urged to report individuals with gunshot wounds for investigation.

Abuja has seen a surge in kidnapping incidents this year, causing concern among residents.

Recent abductions include two teenage sisters in Kubwa and the rescue of a victim, Joshua Eze, by FCT Command operatives.

The Command also arrested a 20-year-old kidnap kingpin, Buhari Muhammad, and five others, recovering an AK-47 and N350,000.

Confirming the development, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement on Wednesday, said that the bandit was killed on Sunday.

The Force spokesperson said that upon closing in on the bandit group, they sighted the police and fled but the police operatives immediately went after them, and engaged them in a fierce gun duel.

“In the process, the notorious Isa Dei-Dei was neutralised while other members of the syndicate managed to escape with gunshot injuries.

“We therefore urge members of the public, most especially medical practitioners, to call our attention to anyone or patients seen with gunshot wounds for further investigation,” Adejobi said.
