John Woke, Head Elele Alimini Vigilante, narrated that, “Following tip-off by members of the public that hoodlums had abducted victims and token them to their hideouts in a nearby forest along Elele Barrack Road and ransom being demanded, we (Vigilante) subsequently hinted the Nigeria Army.
“The Army quickly led the operation into criminal hideouts to rescue the victims and on citing the Army, the kidnappers opened fire which led to the killing of three.”
