“We went after him with five AK 47 rifles. Labisca followed him from where he was coming from to the place where we went after him.”

The police representative affirmed that five AK 47 riffles, two K2 rifles and 180 live ammo were recuperated from the suspect.

“Following a concentrated examination concerning the deadly assault on the escort of Missionary Johnson Suleman along Benin-Auchi Street wherein six individuals, including three police staff, were frightfully killed, agents of Lie IRT on the path of the attackers caught one Yusuf Isah, a local of Okene, Kogi State and a handyman, at Agbaraoluwa Stage 2 Ijoka, Akure, Ondo State and recuperated five AK 47 rifles, two K2 attack rifles, 180 live ammo and four thought IEDs tracked down in his condo,” Adejobi said.

The FPRO expressed a portion of the rifles found with the suspect were grabbed from the three police officers killed during the assault.

“The group specializes in kidnapping for a ransom, and between 2021 and 2023, it carried out approximately four kidnappings, including an attack on the cleric’s convoy before the gang was eventually caught by the police.

“The suspect admitted that the pack was liable for the capture of a famous oil seller at Jetu, Auchi in 2022, where they got a payment of about N70m before his delivery. The group similarly did the grabbing of a money manager along the Benin-Agbor Freeway in 2022 and gathered N20m as payoff from the casualty’s loved ones.”

He, notwithstanding, said two individuals from the seven-man posse were gunned down in discrete experiences with the police, adding that endeavors are progressing to catch different suspects who are currently at large.
