**Police Nab Six Suspected Kidnappers in Edo Forests** Operatives of the Edo State Police have made a significant breakthrough in the fight against kidnapping, arresting six suspected kidnappers in the Edo Central senatorial district. These suspects were identified as members of a notorious kidnapping gang that has been terrorizing communities in the area. According to DSP Eno Ikoedem, the Edo Police spokesperson, the arrests were made after the police identified the Ubiaja and Esan South East local government areas as key hotspots for security concern. A team of operatives from the Ubiaja Division was able to track down and arrest a suspect, Suleman Harruna, a national of the Republic of Niger who resides in Kogi State. Harruna, who made useful confessions, is believed to be a key member of the kidnapping gang. Another suspect, Ibrahim Kodo, was arrested after a kidnapped victim identified him as one of the armed men who abducted him last year. The police also arrested four other suspects during a bush-combing operation in the Onogholo and Akwocha forests. During the operation, the suspects opened fire on the advancing security team, but the police were able to subdue them with their superior firepower. Unfortunately, one of the suspects was neutralized in the ensuing gun duel, while three others escaped into the forest with gunshot wounds. The police recovered a single-barreled shotgun, a black facial mask, and several cartridges from the scene. Bush-combing operations are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects. The Commissioner of Police, CP Monday Agbonika, has commended the Divisional Police Officer, Ubiaja Division, and his team for their resilience and professionalism, which have led to these successes. The arrests are a testament to the police's commitment to keeping Nigerians safe and secure. The Edo State Police has been working tirelessly to combat kidnapping and other forms of crime in the state. These arrests will undoubtedly send a strong message to would-be kidnappers that the police are determined to bring them to justice.
