A notorious kidnapper, Isa Dei-Dei, has been killed in Abuja by Nigeria Police personnel, after storming the hideout of the kidnappers group in the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the statement issued by police spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the operation was said to have been carried out by policemen in Abuja.
The police spokesperson stressed that only Dei-Dei was killed while other ran away with degree of injuries.
In the statement, “At about 10:15 am on February 5, 2024, operatives of the DFI-IRT, acting on intelligence, got information on the hideout of a notorious bandit group led by one Isa Dei-Dei, in the suburb of the FCT, and immediately proceeded to the location for possible arrests.
“Upon closing in on them, they (bandits) sighted the police and fled. The operatives immediately went after them, which led to 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.”
