Luck has run out of some deadly kidnappers that have been terrorising Edo Central, including the governor’s community, Uromi, as they were apprehended by the Edo State Security Corps in collaboration with a local outfit co-named the Esan Awareness Security.
The seven suspected dreaded kidnappers, including their leader, were said to have been arrested in their hideout based on reliable information as they were planning another operation.
Their end came when, on the second day of June, one of the suspects who claimed to have left the group was apprehended by the personnel of the Edo State security corps who were carrying out their normal patrol at Oghen Road in Uromi, the Administrative headquarters of Esan North East Local Government Area.
