Operatives of the Imo State Police Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit, popularly known as Tiger Base, alongside some soldiers shot dead a member of a kidnapping gang during a gun battle in the state.
However, some of the hoodlums escaped with bullet wounds while four abducted victims, including a husband and wife, who were kidnapped last month, were equally rescued.
Henry Okoye, the spokesman of Public, the state police command, announced the development of his X handle on Saturday morning.
The operation to dismantle the syndicate in Ezioha, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of the state on October 4 followed credible intelligence.
Okoye disclosed that the gang members engaged the security operatives in a gunfight, resulting in the death of one of them while others escaped with various degrees of injuries. A vehicle was also recovered from them.
