A police spokesman in the state, Bright Edafe attributed the success to credible information and the swift responses of the Commissioner of Police, CP Abaniwonda Olufemi.
He further explained that acting on credible intelligence gathered on the activities of suspected armed robbers and kidnappers in the Kwale axis, the CP directed the Commander Quick Response Squad to work discreetly on the intelligence.
Acting on this directive, the Commander, a Superintendent of Police, Osadolor Godwin, on the 8th of June, 2024, at about 11: 40am led a surveillance team attached to the Kwale Division and stormed their hideout in an uncompleted building.
