Command kills abductor, rescues victim

Alexander Okere, Benin

Operatives of the Edo State Police Command on Wednesday shot dead a suspected kidnapper in the Oredo Local Government Area of the state.

It was learnt that the suspect was killed by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in the Ugbor area of Benin metropolis.

It was gathered that the deceased and three other members of the gang had accosted their victim, identified only as Odion, as he drove into his compound on Sapele Road last Thursday.

They were said to have ordered him to move to the back seat of the car before driving him away.

The victim, a dealer in petroleum products, said his mobile phone and an ATM card were taken away from him.

He said, “One of them sat beside me and the other reversed my car. When we approached the gate, another one came from a dark corner, entered the car and they drove out.”

He said he was taken to an uncompleted building while an undisclosed amount of money was withdrawn from his bank account.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Johnson Kokumo, said one of the suspects was killed during the rescue operation, adding that a manhunt had been launched for the fleeing members of the gang. He said, “We recovered from the killed suspect a cut-to-size gun and the vehicle stolen from their victim.”
