Eket (Akwa Ibom)—Policemen from Eket Division, Thursday, killed seven kidnap suspects. It was gathered that thousands of residents of Eket metropolis thronged the police station to catch a glimpse of the remains of the suspects displayed in the premises.
Police officers had a hard time controlling the crowd.
Police sources in Eket confirmed the incident and stated that the men died in a routine operation against hoodlums. Police spokesman in Akwa Ibom, Mr. Onyeka Orji, could not be reached for comments as there was no response to several calls made to his mobile phone.
Some members of the public who reacted to the development applauded the police for smashing the kidnap syndicate which had terrorised the area for a long time.
Meanwhile, a victim escaped from kidnappers’ den a few hours after his abduction in Onna, a neighbouring council.
According to the victim (names withheld), he escaped through the window of a room where he was kept when he observed a lapse in security by his abductors.
