Irate mob lynch kidnapper in Delta

A gang of kidnappers operating on motorcycles in Eku-Kraka village in Delta State have been arrested.

The state police command’s Public Relations Officer, Celestina Kalu, a Deputy Suprientendent of Police, said the suspects, were chasing the victim on a motorcycle before a call was put across to the police.
According to Kalu, when two of the suspected kidnappers saw the police, they made a quick u-turn and fled.
“Consequently”, the PPRO continued, “the DPO followed the complainant to the scene and discovered that the third suspect, who later died, was arrested and seriously wounded by irate mob.”
Prior to his death, the suspect identified himself as Obodo Ochuko and confessed to the crime.
He mentioned three of his accomplices to include one Joseph, whose ash coloured C-Class Mercedes Benz was used severally in their operations within the area.
According to Kalu, the suspect led police operatives to their hideout in Eku-Kraka village where one Oghenejakpo Igubenu, who was identified by the complainant as the rider of the gang’s operational motorcycle, was apprehended.
While other gang members have immediately relocated, items ranging from English made berretta pistol with three rounds of live ammunition and one cut-to-size barrel gun were recovered from them.
The wounded suspect thereafter died on the way to hospital for treatment.
