Police in Niger State have neutralised a suspected bandit in
Borgu LGA of Niger State while trying to pick the N3 million
ransom demanded from a businessman.

The police command’s Public Relations Officer in the state,
DSP Wasiu Abiodun who made this known on Thursday, said
the suspect’s AK-47 rifle with empty magazine was recovered.
Abiodun explained that four suspected kidnappers threatened
to kidnap a businessman in Bako-Mission village, Pissa District
of Borgu LGA if he failed to keep N3 million within three days
at a particular location around Tunga-Umoru village, via Pissa
District.

He said, “Immediately this information was received, the police
tactical team, including vigilante members led by the DPO
New-Bussa Div swung into action, mobilised to the purported
location, adopted appropriate operational strategies and
engaged the kidnappers in a gun battle, while one female
victim of about 22years earlier kidnapped was rescued unhurt.
“Fortunately, the team combed the bush and one of the bandits
was neutralised during the gun battle and his AK-47 rifle with
an empty magazine was recovered. Other members of the
gang fled the scene with various gunshot injuries and a
concerted effort is ongoing to nab the fleeing members. Public
confidence was restored and the area was stabilised.”

I will only believe if I could see the dead bodies of these useless terrorist men .

Until then, it’s audio and a fake news!

It is hard to escape with a gunshot wound.This line the police always use is stale.

- Nigeria Police force

He was gun down because he was not sponsored by politician.

One down, more to follow. Nigeria police is doing great and Govt need to make kidnapping, terrorism, stealing of public funds, Arm-robbery and bandit capital offense.

Kudos to our gallant Nigeria police

Stupìd police

They can't shoot to arrest so they can catch others.

why u wan see their body.. abi u wan use their body do small chops?

This is exactly the news we expect to hear. Go into the forest and flush out these terrorist once and for all. The government should stop treating them with kid gloves. These people distablizing the region with insecurity

How many was gun down out of the 3 bandit...


The business man should jus leave town for now make dem no go come back for brutal revenge that will wipe him and his family out...

He should only stay if the 3 are all gunned down at the same time...

Any advise for the Business man if the bandit gunned down is a brother to Bello Turji or the king of the bandis of the North.

Neutralized. The new word they learnt from the Israelis.

Wouldn't it have been best to trail him to their hideouts?

Meanwhile,

Please if you can spare a little for others, kindly do so, your friends, neighbours, strangers etc. People are really going through a lot right now.

Don't wait for them to come asking, give the little you can without expectation of reward.

Be an Angel to someone today and God will bless you richly:

Prov.11.25 - The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

Good riddance

Again, poor strategy in my opinion. A better approach is to track or seize the kidnapper to catch the bigger fishes. This shoot on sight approach is not efficient and will cost more in the long run

Sent him back to hell.

If this is not fake news, how could Nigerian police engage in a gun battle with a lone bandit who reportedly had an empty gun?

Even if it's true, it's unprofessional to kill him instead of apprehending him, especially since they've allegedly left the kidnapped victim in the hands of his associates. It's feared they may harm the victim in retaliation for the police action.

The police should have pursued a strategy to track and apprehend the bandit rather than resorting to lethal force.

It's evident even to a nursery pupil that the Nigerian police lack operational strategy.

Bandits appear to be more adept at planning than the police force.

They are northerners not southerners so don't expect pictures of video

Hmmmmmm

OK ... but, I have stopped believing any such news
from the Nigerian Police Force.

They can lie for Africa
.

Nigeria is working under the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu... MEKA OOO

Fleeing bandits with various degrees of bullet wounds, why don't you chase them till they bleed to death? Same storyline from police

Abiodun explained that four suspected kidnappers threatened
to kidnap a businessman in Bako-Mission village.

WTF?

This idiots have introduced Yahoo into kidnapping.
imagine collecting ransom before you even do the kidnapping.

Lazy criminals!

Definitely deserved to be shot. Giving hardworking kidnappers out there a bad name.
