The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has announced the triumphant elimination of Isa Dei-Dei, the leader of a deadly bandit gang terrorising the suburbs of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
The Force Public Relations Officer of the NPF, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, via a social media post on Wednesday, said Dei-Dei was gunned down on 5 February during a gun duel.
“At about 1015hrs on the 5th of February 2024, operatives of the Department of Force Intelligence’s Intelligence Response Team, acting on intelligence, got information on the hideout of a notorious bandit group in the suburb of the FCT, led by one Isa Dei-Dei and immediately proceeded to the location for possible arrest,” Adejobi stated.
“Upon closing in on them, they sighted the police and fled. The operatives immediately went after them, which led to a fierce gun duel.”
Dei-Dei was slain during the firefight while his gang members retreated, some with gunshot injuries.
“We therefore urge members of the public, most especially medical practitioners, to call our attention to anyone or patients seen with gunshot wounds for further investigation,” the NPF spokesman added.
