A Port Harcourt based upcoming actor, Prince Henry Ode is allegedly said to be among the nine kidnappers recently killed by Police in Lagos State.
Top Society reports that the Lagos State Police Command on July 5th killed a nine-man suspected kidnap gang within the State.
The command’s Special Squad One Team had confirmed that the feat was achieved when it engaged the men around the Ajao, Okota, Isolo, and Ladipo axis of the State.
According to reports, five AK-47 rifles and two SUV jeeps were recovered during the operations.
Lagos State Police Command Benjamin Hundeyin said the feat was owing to an intelligence report.
“The kidnappers who were caught unawares would not give up easily as they engaged the police officers in a shoot-out. They of course bowed to the superior firepower of the police. Nine of them were neutralized while two escaped with gunshot injuries,” he said.
“Four AK-47 rifles, four locally-made semiautomatic pistols, nine AK47 magazines, three walkie-talkies, one POS machine, and a loudspeaker were recovered from them. Also recovered are their two operational vehicles: one black Toyota 4Runner and a blue Lexus RX350. Meanwhile, investigations are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects.”
