However, the suspected kidnapper sustained injury during the operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Irabor explained further that the troops, on June 4, also arrested one Mr Abubakar (aka Maude), a suspected informant stationed around Auga in Akoko South East Local Government Area of Ondo State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspect was a member of a kidnapping syndicate, placed in the area to monitor the movement and activities of troops and inform members of his syndicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the suspects are presently in our custody for further interrogation and will be handed over to the appropriate security agency for prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFurthermore, the Commander 32 Brigade, Brig.-Gen. Justin Ifeanyi, has implored the good people of Ondo State, to always avail troops with credible information on the movement and activities of criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cinformation on unknown persons within the neighborhood too should be availed to enhance the capacity of troops in conducting operations with precision, and to further stem the tide of criminals within 32 Brigade AOR.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men of the Nigerian Army.
