Rivers State Police Command says it has killed six alleged kidnap suspects in shootouts with the police.

Mr Usman Belele, the State Police Commissioner, said this in Port Harcourt on Friday at a news conference.

The CP said his men had stormed their hideout at Eneka in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers.


He said on sighting the police, the suspects allegedly opened fire and wounded two police officers.

Belel said when his officers returned fire, five gang members were “fatally wounded.”

According to him, they were taken to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital but were confirmed dead by a medical doctor.


The CP also disclosed that one Ntuariuwa a.k.a “change the world”, a notorious kidnapper on the police wanted list, was also “fatally” wounded and killed in a shootout with the police, bringing the number of killed alleged kidnappers to six.

In another development, the command also arrested 20 suspected criminals in connection with various offences.

According to the commissioner, 12 of the suspects were arrested in connection with alleged cult activities, four for alleged kidnapping and another four for alleged robbery.


He said the command foiled two robbery attempts, recovered three AK47 assault rifles and five locally made pistols.

Others included three pump action guns, eight machetes, five magazines, 60 ammunition, and 40 cartridges.

The CP said the feat was recorded in May, adding that the command would make Rivers uncomfortable for criminals.

Rivers Of Fire..

Rivers police!! there is a lie somewhere in the story. Because rives police and kidnappers are one and the same.

Good one. Please don't spare any of them. Don't take them to prison as that will only aid them broaden their network. Kill them cause those guys are inhumane.
Also, I believe the implementation of assigning teasers to most police officers can help cub crime rate cause most officers lease their guns to these kidnappers and robbers.
For now, you are your own security.

Olokpa don do am again oooo... Thats if they didnt arrest or shoot innocent ones

Kudos to the Nigerian police. But proper investigations is important. Sometimes what we are told and the real picture are worlds apart. In the absence of contradictory information, we give kudos to the brave NPF.

Fulani jihadists government are busy killing innocent unarmed indigenous people tagging them alleged kidnappers with help of Yoruba demonic jihadist media.


The real kidnappers in Nigeria are been protected and compensated in Nigeria.


I pity some illiterates here feeling happy in killing of innocent unarmed people they alleged to be kidnappers.

Nigeria sef! The behavior and decision making by our leaders and government agencies sometimes makes me wonder what type of spell we are under.
How can you transport bullet wound victims all the way from Eneka down to UPTH for treatment? the several kilometers plus the hold up, and bad roads, there is no chance of survival.
Which kind Mumu we dey display for this country?

Rivers, the gangster city.
Kudos to the police. But, they should please route out at the kidnappers, at Omoku, emouha, ahoada to choba axis. They terrorize people on daily basis despite the road blocks mounted the securities. They still kidnapped people yesterday.
