The Police Command in Benue has arrested three suspected kidnappers in Logo Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

This is contained in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Sewuese Anene, on Wednesday in Makurdi.

“On sighting the police, the suspects engaged them in an exchange of fire but the police were able to subdue them and the three of them were arrested at the scene.

“One of them sustained gunshot injuries and was confirmed dead at the hospital and his corpse has been deposited at the morgue.

“The other two, identified as Aondona Yakyuur and Teryange Myina are currently undergoing interrogation,’’ she said.
