A gang of suspected kidnappers have
invaded the military check point
mounted by the Joint Task Force, JTF
at Agidigbo junction on Okpai/Aboh
road in Delta State, killing an armed
solider and also snatch a machine
gun, just as unknown assailants shot
two brothers while asleep at Abbi.
It was gathered that the armed gang
who swooped on the soldiers opened
fire while the soldiers retaliated and at
the end of the fierce gun duel, one of
the soldiers lost his life and his
machine gun was taken away by the
gunmen.
One of the gunmen was fatally
wounded in the process and arrested
as he was unable to flee along with his
colleagues.
The entire area has been cordoned off
while the soldiers were conducting
frantic search for the fleeing gunmen
and the possible recovery of their
machine gun. A number of road blocks
had been mounted and residents,
ostensibly afraid of any form of
manhandling chose to remain indoors.
A resident who pleaded an anonymity
told our reporter that “that area leading
to the gas plant had been witnessing a
lot of kidnap cases. In short, Kwale,
Beneku and environs in Ndokwa West
local government area of Delta are
now under siege following the killing of
a soldier at a military check point by
gunmen”, he stated.
Contacted, the State Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Famous
Ajieh said he was yet to get details of
the invasion of the military check point.
However on the shooting of the two
brothers, PPRO Ajieh said that “report
from Abbi village stated that one
Akadibo Sunday, male aged 42 was
shot at the back dead while asleep at
night while one Chukwunalu Sunday
27, of same address was also shot in
the chest wounded by unidentified
assailants while trying to ascertain
what was happening to the deceased.
He added that “detectives have visited
the scene and moved the wounded to
the hospital and corpse to morgue
while preliminary investigations are
on
