Drama As Delta Kidnap Suspect Melts Under Police Interrogation

A suspected kidnapper in Delta State melted under investigation by the police after he was initially mistaken to be a fraudster but revealed himself to be involved in kidnapping.

GWG.ng reports that the Delta State Police Command subsequently recovered a Beretta pistol from him.

According to a statement issued by the Delta Police Command’s spokesman, SP Bright Edafe and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Warri, the suspect was originally arrested on Saturday on suspicion of fraud.

He said that the command’s operatives on special assignment led by ASP Julius Robinson initially mistook the suspect for a fraudster, but further investigation allegedly connected him to cases of kidnapping.

“Consequently, on Oct. 7, 2024, acting on the suspect’s statement, a sum of N500,000 was recovered from his account.

“The amount was part of the N1,100, 000 he shared from the N4, 000, 000 collected as ransom from a kidnap victim on Sept. 25, 2024 in Ughelli town,” Edafe said.

The Delta Police Command’s spokesman said that the kidnapping suspect led the police operatives to the residence of his gang.

He added that the hoodlums on sighting the policemen took to their heels.

Edafe said that one Beretta pistol was recovered from the suspect while investigation on the matter was ongoing. (NAN)
