Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have foiled an alleged plot to kidnap a pastor and a retired school principal in Ughelli, arresting a suspect linked to the planned abduction.
The police said it also recovered a single-barrel gun and two live cartridges during the operation.
The command’s spokesman, Bright Edafe, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, saying the arrest followed credible intelligence received by operatives of the ‘A’ Division in Ughelli.
Edafe said the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Jeremiah Kwane, allegedly attempted to recruit another person into a kidnapping syndicate to carry out the planned abduction.
