Police Operatives Kill Notorious Abuja Bandit
Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force said they have killed a notorious bandit, Isa Dei-Dei, in Abuja, after storming the hideout of a bandit group in the suburb of the Federal Capital Territory.
The operation was said to have been carried out by policemen attached to the Department of Force Intelligence of the Intelligence Response Team.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday, by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
Adejobi informed that while only Dei-Dei was neutralized, some other members of the gang escaped with gunshot injuries they sustained during the gun duel.
The statement read, “At about 10:15 am on February 5, 2024, operatives of the DFI-IRT, acting on intelligence, got information on the hideout of a notorious bandit group led by one Isa Dei-Dei, in the suburb of the FCT, and immediately proceeded to the location for possible arrests.
“Upon closing in on them, the bandits sighted the police and fled. The operatives immediately went after them, which led to a fierce gun duel. In the process, the notorious Isa Dei-Dei was neutralized, while other members of the syndicate managed to escape with gunshot injuries.
“We therefore urge members of the public, most especially medical practitioners, to call our attention to anyone or patients seen with gunshot wounds for further investigation.”
