The Nigerian Army has disclosed that its troops of 4 Brigade, on Wednesday, neutralized three kidnappers believed to be part of the notorious kidnap and robbery gang terrorising motorists along Auchi-Benin road in Edo State.

Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director, Army Public Relations, who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja, said the kidnappers met their waterloo while carrying out their nefarious operation along the axis.

Nwachikwu revealed that the criminals ran out of luck as the vigilant troops swooped on them, engaging them in a gun duel that led to the elimination of three members of the gang, while others fled in different directions.

He said the troops recovered one AK 47 rifle, one pump action shotgun and other dangerous weapons and efforts were ongoing to track the fleeing kidnappers and free that axis from all forms of violent crime.

“They are also urged to go about their normal activities as efforts are in place to ensure seamless security,”
