Three mobile policemen attached to PMF 51, Oghara, have been reportedly abducted by suspected herdsmen in the Ohoror community of the East-West Road in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

Sunday Special gathered that the kidnappers also carted away the service AK47 rifles with ammunition of the policemen who were marched into the bush.

It was learnt that the kidnapped cops were part of a team of six mobile policemen drafted to the Ughelli-Patani Road nipping point.

It was also learnt that the news of the abduction created tension in the community.

A police source said the cops were whisked away while attending to a distress call.

“While they were at the tipping point, a young man simply identified as Moses Progress, 22, from the Uwheru community came to inform the team that he was robbed of his OPPO phone and money by suspected herdsmen under a nearby bridge close to their point while performing rituals to the god of the river.

“Consequently, the leader of the patrol team reportedly detailed the three inspectors to follow the complainant to the scene, armed with their AK-47 rifles.

“While waiting for the return of the three inspectors, the team later saw the complainant on a speeding motorcycle without our men,” the source said.

“He was stopped to inquire about the three mobile police officers who went with him. It was at that juncture that he told them that, when they got to the scene, they were attacked at the bush by six herdsmen and he had to escape while the policemen ran in different directions.

“When he told our men that he did not know the whereabouts of the police officers who went with him, there was no option than to arrest him after they called for backup,” the source added.

The Police Public Relations Officer for the Delta State command, Bright Edafe, could not be reached for comments on the incident as of the time of filing this report.

If government can control the endsars nationwide outbreak, why not a small group named bandits

Bandits?
Just colouring terrorists in different names.
Pity those rushing to the force nowadays.
Cos they can't even guarantee their own safety.

Nlfpmod, who go safe us.

Nigerian police, army and other security agencies treat Fulani herdsmen like superior breed of people, that's why they persist in their crimes nationwide. When they arrest or kill a criminal who is Igbo, Yoruba or Niger Deltan, they will gleefully display them to the public, but you will never see them display Fulani herdsmen for their criminality.

Terror

If police with guns can be kidnapped, what about ordinary civilians?

Damnnn niggar

This story sounds funny

We're no longer safe in our own control

Even the police has lost control

The hunters were haunted. May God help us

When Nigerians decide to wake up and hit the street to protest then we would know how serious they are.

For now, let the insecurity continue

Lol, so it's now up to the local vigilante to rescue the kidnapped policemen from kidnappers den.

Lol Dem go for Family Meeting bkuz Police are Herdsmen are not different just that the police are backed legally with uniform...


Both engage in Kidnapping....

This is disturbing.

They just wasted three lives to steal Ak47 for kidnapping.

That nigha is the prime suspect.......

The same community wey I just last week......Na God dey really dey save man🙏

Who're the kidnaper and who're the police, army?

They're family if not this criminal has more information than the Intel.

Police is being kidnapped, what about ordinary citizens..

That's the height of it

Odiegwu...

Ughelli-Patani Road

Are you sure they didn't 'kidnap themselves' to make some cash?

There are lots of check points with Army, Police, Civil defence and Delta local security on that expressway. Infact almost every 4 Km.

And you want me to believe they couldn't call for ? No be that same express dem go after being kidnapped?

Na wa

Nawa ooo

Bushmeats don dey catch hunters.

Ope oooooopoo

It is finally finished. If herdsmen can kidnap police wey hold gun, wetin we wey na ordinary hand and mouth we get go come do


Last last it be like say una go legalise guns for us o, with the way things are going in Nigeria. The other time it was army telling we ordinary civilians "No gree for bandits" abeg wahala don dey o.

If you voted for buhari and now tinubu eeni Jere, eeni kuure

Cmanforall:
Terror

If police with guns can be kidnapped, what about ordinary civilians?

I'm yet to know the difference between bandits, herdsmen, and terrorist. The government will start fighting all these insecurities when they acknowledge the fact that all those fancy are one. They are all terrorist and deserve to be treated same. Imagine kidnapping policemen, tueeeh.

That's an insult to the entire defence forces of Nigeria. Which terrorist group would dare kidnap a police officer in the US? That's trouble!

Jidics:
If government can control the endsars nationwide outbreak, why not a small group named bandits

And who told you they are small group? You are swallowing the Nigeria brown envelope Media to call full blown terrorists bandit.


The are Fulani jihadist terrorist, thier aim is to islamize Nigeria, the aim of the kidnap is to raise money for more arms they don't build so don't act surprised like you just knew



A thread was opened about Fulani men sharing 7k each and how they dressed in Delta state.

Uninformed Ronu animals were barking, now hope the results are coming out wooooozaaaaahh .

You will sit in ogbomosho to tell people presently in Delta what is happening in Delta
