Operatives of the Police Command in Edo have rescued a cleric, Rev. Canon Tony Mukoro, from the den of suspected kidnappers in the state.

Spokesperson of the command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed the incident to newsmen on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, in Benin said one AK 47 rifle, one expended AK 47 shell, two pump action guns, 14 live cartridges, one cap, and a bag were recovered from the suspects.

The victim was reportedly abducted by suspected gunmen at Isihor community in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of the state while returning home in his car.

According to the PPRO, the Divisional Police Office in Ugbowo, Benin, received information that hoodlums accosted and kidnapped Mukoro in his Toyota Highlander car.

Operatives of the division immediately swung into action and intercepted the vehicle.

“They engaged the hoodlums in a gun duel. The hoodlums fled during the cross fire and the victim was rescued unhurt,” he said.

He said efforts were ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects and bring them to justice.
