Police source says preliminary investigation revealed that suspects were allegedly responsible for a series of kidnappings and armed robberies around Iyamuge, Otu-Jeremi, Warri, Ughelli, and environs. Acting on the strength of their confessions, the suspects led the operatives to Iyamugo forest where their hidden weapons which includes one AK-47 rifle, one pump action gun, three locally made guns, two magazines, 60 rounds of Ak-47 live ammunition and seventeen rounds of live cartridges were recovered. Upon exit from the forest, some hoodlums suspected to be their gang members engaged the Police in a gun duel, during which five of the hoodlums sustained gunshot injuries while others escaped. The injured suspects were taken to the hospital and later died while receiving treatment. The three suspects and the exhibits are in custody while the investigation is ongoing.
