Delta State security outfit, SafeCity Security Service, in collaboration with operatives of the state police command, has arrested a notorious wanted bandit, Abubakar Usman.
The arrest followed the kidnapping of one Mrs Blessing Chiedu, a native of Umunede Kingdom, who was abducted on 2nd July, 2026, along the Ani-Ifekide Farm Road, Ubulu-Uku. The kidnappers had demanded a ransom of N100 million from her family.
Spokesperson for the SafeCity Security Service, Harrison Gwamnishu, made the disclosure in a post on X on Wednesday
According to Gwamnishu, upon receiving the information, he escalated the matter, and the Delta State Police Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad, Asaba, led by CSP Osakpolor, swung into action.
He said that using their Hydra Tech Surveillance System, a
coordinated rescue operation was launched. Mrs Blessing Chiedu, a native of
Umunede, was successfully rescued alive and unharmed along the
Ubulu-Unor/Ashama Road.
After her rescue, he said the team immediately launched a
manhunt for the fleeing kidnappers until the early hours of Wednesday, when
their surveillance system located the gang at their hideout in the
Ogwashi-Uku/Adonta Forest of the state.
“A gun battle ensued, during which our combined team
overpowered the criminals. One of the most wanted suspects, Abubakar Usman, was
successfully captured, while other members of the gang escaped into the forest
with their firearms.
“Investigations reveal that Abubakar Usman and his gang have
been responsible for several kidnapping operations across Igbodo, Umunede, and
surrounding communities, where they have extorted millions of naira in ransom
from innocent families,” he said.
