Three suspected kidnappers believed to be part of the notorious syndicate terrorizing the Auchi-Benin road in Edo State were killed by Troops of 4 Brigade Nigerian Army on Wednesday.
The kidnappers were on their nefarious operation along the axis when the vigilant troops swooped on them, engaging them in a gun duel that led to the elimination of three members of the gang, according to the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu.
The gallant troops recovered one AK 47 rifle, one Pump Action Shotgun, and other dangerous weapons at the crime scene.
While efforts are ongoing to track the fleeing criminals, the Army urges the public, particularly the good people of Edo, to continue to expose criminal elements in their localities to law enforcement agencies.
