Gunmen suspected to be ritualists have invaded the
Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre at Sanubi Town in Ughelli North Local
Government Area of Delta State, taking away three inmates in the
process. They were said to have stormed the centre in a commando-like
style and ordered all those present to lie face down.
The
bandits thereafter kidnapped three inmates on treatment before escaping
to unknown destination. But the police, who trailed the hoodlums,
following a distressed call from anonymous source, later rescued the
victims at Ugolo-Orogun. Delta State Command Police Public Relations
Officer, DSP Charles Muka confirmed the failed abduction attempt to
Daily Sun yesterday in Asaba.
Muka said based on information, the
hoodlums were trailed to Ugolo-Orogun and on noticing that police were
closing in on them, they abandoned the victims and escaped. The police
image-maker said no arrest had been made, but that the command had
spread its dragnets to trap the fleeing bandits.
