Delta State
Police Command has paraded alleged leader of a five-man kidnapping syndicate,
one Mr. Tola Saliu, a 40-year-old former army lance corporal who was said
to
have specialised in the abduction of women riding flashy cars in Asaba and
environs.
Also paraded were 174 other suspects arrested across the state for
kidnapping, armed robbery, rape and defilement, fraud, car snatching, murder,
cultism and vandalism.
According to vanguard report, Parading the
suspects, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zanna Ibrahim, said the former
lance corporal and his gang had been terrorizing Asaba, the state capital.
Decrying the high rate of cultism in the state, the police boss said: “Cultism
is one of the issues we have in the state. It has extended from higher
institutions of learning to secondary schools, unions and the communities.
But
we are not resting on our oars to reduce the trend to the barest minimum. We
are doing this through advocacy programs.”
