A “notorious bandit”, in a suburb of the federal capital territory (FCT) identified as Isa Dei-Dei, has been killed by Police operatives.
The police in a statement on Wednesday through its spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, said its intelligence response team on Monday received information about the hideout of a notorious bandit group in FCT.
The statement said when the operatives arrived at the scene, the bandits fled and the officers went after them.
“The operatives immediately went after them, which led to a fierce gun duel,” Adejobi said.
“In the process, the notorious Isa Dei-Dei was neutralised while other members of the syndicate managed to escape with gunshot injuries.”
Adejobi charged members of the public, especially medical practitioners, to call the attention of the police to anyone seen with gunshot injuries.
