Jimetta, at the command headquarters in Benin, said he has also decongested police cells across the state to check the spread of coronavirus, just as he said men of the command were trailing and tracking the kidnappers of the Edo State Commissioner for Science and Technology, BEmmanuel Agbale, who was kidnapped on Friday.
“Five kidnappers named Abdullahi Usman, Abdulkadiri Mohammed, Mohammed Lawan, Bello Umar and Musa Lawan alleged to be involved in the kidnap and murder of two Lord’s Chosen Church of God members – Basil Odoji and Innocent Udoh – have been arrested. The decomposed bodies of the victims were recovered and deposited at Our Clinic Morgue, Ikpoba Hill,” he said.
One hundred and forty six other suspected criminals, including suspected kidnappers, armed robbers, fraudsters, rapists and murderers were paraded at the command. Punch
