Delta Police Rescue Kidnap Victim, Arrest Five Suspects

Police operatives in Delta State have rescued a 25-year-old woman who was allegedly kidnapped and arrested five suspects in separate operations targeting kidnapping and cult-related crimes across the state.

The operations also led to the recovery of a locally fabricated Beretta pistol, one magazine, two rounds of live ammunition, a battle axe, four cutlasses and a hammer.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Warri on Sunday.

Edafe said operatives from the Otu-Jeremi Division moved into Usiefrun Community on October 3 after receiving intelligence that the woman had been assaulted and held hostage.

The police said the victim was rescued while the main suspect, 29-year-old Brotugbare Francis Onome, was arrested.
