Police kill three bandits, arrest nine in Delta

The Nigeria Police Force has announced a series of successful operations across Benue and Delta States, resulting in the neutralization of three armed bandits, the rescue of two kidnap victims, the arrest of nine suspects, and the recovery of a large cache of arms and stolen vehicles.

According to the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, these achievements are a result of intelligence-led and proactive policing strategies.

On Saturday, May 3, 2025, operatives of the Benue State Police Command, acting on credible intelligence, engaged in a gun battle with a group of suspected bandits near the Tse-Gondo axis in the Sankera area, where the suspects were reportedly planning attacks on security personnel.

“Three of the bandits sustained fatal gunshot injuries and were confirmed dead at the hospital,” Adejobi said.

Recovered from the scene were two locally fabricated firearms and several live cartridges.
