Police in Ekiti state says it killed a suspected kidnapper at the point of collecting ransom in Eruku forest, a border between Ekiti and Kwara states.
Spokesperson of the command, Sunday Abutu, disclosed this when he paraded the kidnapper’s corpse at the police headquarters in Ado Ekiti, on Thursday.
He said the kidnapper was killed by a combined team of soldiers, police, and a local security task force inside the forest.
Abutu said the security forces laid ambush for the kidnapping gang at the point of payment of the sum of N2.1million ransom for an abducted victim and chased them after collecting the money until they shot the suspect dead.
He said two victims were rescued alive and efforts were ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects.
