The police raided a club in Delta State following information that the suspects were there, according to an official.
The police spokesperson in the state, Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the operatives successfully arrested one of the suspects at the club who equally confessed to being a member of a robbery and kidnapping gang. “The injured suspect gave up the ghost before he could get to the hospital,” he said, adding that a manhunt for the fleeing gang members was ongoing. The police spokesperson said the suspect’s arrest followed a directive by the Commissioner of Police in Delta State, Muhammed Ali, to various DPOs in the state to “fish out” those behind recurring robbery attacks in the state or risk being sacked from the force.“During interrogation, the suspect confessed to being part of a syndicate that specialises in stealing generators within Asaba metropolis ,” Mr Edafe stated.
