Operatives of the police DFI-IRT have gunned down a notorious bandit named Isa Dei-Dei after they stormed the criminals’ hideout in the suburb of Abuja.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday, said the operation followed receiving credible intelligence.
“At about 1015HRS on the 5th of February 2024, operatives of the DFI-IRT, acting on intelligence, got information on the hideout of a notorious bandit group in the suburb of the FCT, led by one Isa Dei-Dei and immediately proceeded to the location for possible arrest.
“Upon closing in on them, they 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,” the statement read.
The police therefore urged the public, most especially medical practitioners, to draw its attention to anyone or patients seen with gunshot wounds for further investigation.
