Seven boxes containing 6,300 live ammunition including 114 AK 47 rifles magazines have been recovered by men of the Edo State Police Command.<\/p>\n
State Police Commissioner, Adebanjo Folusho said the recovery was made through intelligence network of the police.<\/p>\n
He was, however, silent on where and how the recovery was made because the matter was still under investigation.<\/p>\n
The state police boss also paraded 18 persons arrested for various offences including rape, armed robbery, kidnapping and car snatching.<\/p>\n
Adebanjo said one Samson Koma was arrested while attempting to collect N500,000 ransom for a female victim identified as Grace Agbonkpolor who was later rescued unhurt.<\/p>\n
He said six suspects were arrested for violent crimes in the state within the last two months.<\/p>\n
Items recovered from the suspects included one pump action gun, one locally made single barrel gun, one Audi car, one locally made SMG machine gun and GSM handsets.<\/p>\n
He said he had warned criminals to relocate from the state or turn a new, leaf while promising to make the state safe for residents.<\/p>\n
