Delta State At 28: A Long Walk From Development.

By MICHAEL OLADAPO, Asaba

Three kidnap suspects have been nabbed in Okpa­nam community, Oshimili North Local Government Area (LGA), of Delta State.

Daily Independent gath­ered that the suspected kid­nappers were arrested inside a Cherubim and Seraphim Church on November 22, 2020.

It was revealed that the unidentified suspects found their way into the church where they disguised to be fellow members, wearing white garments.

It was learnt that the three-man gang were ex­posed while trying to whisk a three-year-old girl away from the church.

It was gathered that the angry mob from neighbour­hood and several members of the church came out to beat the young men to pulp.

A source told our corre­spondent that Police Oper­atives of Delta State Com­mand came to the rescue of the kidnappers who were then taken to the station.

When contacted, Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), DSP Onome On­ovwakpoyeya, confirmed the incident.

“There was a harvest cel­ebration in the church. Sud­denly, a woman saw them dragging her son. It was then the people in the church came out to beat up the boys,” the PPRO said.

“There has been no formal report by the church; it is an alleged kidnapping,” she said. (Daily Independent)
