…mourn DSP who died after the rescue operation
The Edo State Police Command in a daring operation, stormed Scorpion Hills in the Egbisi Forest, Edo State on January 12th, 2023, and rescued a kidnap victim, neutralized two of their abductors, and recovered a total of 49 rounds of AK 47 live ammunition.
Recall that on January 9th, 2023, a group of hoodlums had ambushed motorists and abducted the President of the Igueben area Customary Court, Mrs. Precious Aigbonga, on the Benin-Ugoneki-Eguaholor-Ugieghudu-Ebelle Road by Egbisi-Eguaholor in Edo State.
Following this unfortunate development, the Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, CP Muhammed A. Dankwara, immediately mobilised police tactical teams and the Divisional Police Officer of Ehor and gave them a marching order.
The teams that worked in collaboration with the military, Edo State Security Network, local vigilantes, and hunters in the community were able to rescue the victim.
Sadly, DSP Michael Adams, who was attached to the Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Unit of the Command, felt unwell and died within a short period after the operation.
The Command also successfully rescued two male employees of the Igueben Train Station and reunited them with their families. The duo was among those abducted during the train attack on January 7th, 2023.
The CP, while expressing regret on the loss of DSP Michael Adams, who died after a successful operation, extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased officer.
