“Our efforts against those perpetrating evil and kidnapping people in our area had yielded fruits. Thunderstrike struck them dead. Three of them.

“God will continue to make us successful against the evildoers. We shall overcome them all by the grace of God. Thank you all”.

However, speaking on the incident, the state commissioner of Police, Mrs Ebunoluwarotimi Adelesi, said that the command and its men had already commenced an investigation into the incident.
