The Delta State Police Command says eleven suspected kidnappers have been arrested by its men.

An ammunition, a firearm and 11 mobile phones were also recovered from the suspects who were nabbed at different locations in the state.

According to Mr. Hafiz Inuwa, the Commissioner of Police, the suspects were arrested separately by policemen on routine “stop and search duties”.

“We have arrested 11 kidnappers. They kidnapped somebody and dispossessed him of his SUV. They were intercepted by our men and two were arrested.

“The two led to the arrests of nine others in Oghara, Mosogar, Jesse and Sapele communities in Ethiope-West and Sapele Local Government Areas of the state,” he said.

He also noted that the suspected kidnappers have been troubling and disturbing the police in the areas mentioned above.

The Police boss lauded his men for their good work and urged them to intensify efforts in ensuring that the areas are crime-free.
