Police operatives may have intensified efforts to get rid of criminal elements within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, following the recent onslaught on both bandits and kidnappers.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that on 5th February, 2024, the Police again neutralized a deadly bandit, popularly known as Isa Dei Dei, dislodged members of his gang terrorizing the Abuja residents and as well foiled kidnapping attempts during the operation.
This was disclosed by the Police Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, at the Force Headquarters in Abuja and he confirmed the death of the bandit, Dei Dei.
ACP Adejobi stated, “At about 1015HRS on the 5th of February 2024, operatives of the DFI-IRT, acting on intelligence, got information on the hideout of a notorious bandit group in the surbub of the FCT, led by one Isa Dei-Dei and immediately proceded to the location for possible arrest”.
“Upon closing in on them, they 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 neutralized 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” he said.
