Three kidnappers were killed in a gun battle and two of their informants arrested in Nigeria by a team of hunters and neighbourhood watch.

The kidnappers who were planning to stage an attack on innocent citizens that ply the Lokoja-Okene road, met their waterloo when two of their informants were arrested.

The Senior Special Adviser (SSA) Security incharge of Okehi Local Government Area, Hon Abdulraheem Ohiare and his Adavi counterpart, Hon Joseph Omuya Salami, had led the hunters to the hideouts of the kidnappers following intelligent report.
