“On May 10, 2022, we had a horrific kidnapping incident when some passengers on a boat traveling from Bonny to Port Harcourt were abducted by robbers and taken to an unknown location. As soon as the information reached us, we met and began searching for the real culprits.

“After a series of investigations it was discovered that one Victor Padi was the mastermind behind the crime. From there, we moved and stormed his camp, but unfortunately by the time we reached the camp, he had already released his victims. After several collaborations with other colleagues, we found out that he had relocated to an area in Bayelsa Province.

“We soon reunited from Rivers district and worked with our base in Bayelsa and raided the camp where he took the victims again. He shook them again because he understood the place so well.
