The Edo State Police Command, said it invaded the hideout of suspected notorious gang of kidnappers that specialized in kidnapping little children and arrested them.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP, Mr. Chris Ezike, who paraded the suspects, weekend, said his command had dealt a heavy blow on kidnappers and armed robbers in the state.
Ezike said the gang had a camp in the bush near Benin city where they kept their victims before demanding for ransom.
“The era of Kidnappers and armed robbers having a field day in Edo is gone. Our anti-crime strategies have made tremendous breakthroughs.
“The suspects are the most wanted and deadliest in the state. It took our well-coordinated anti-kidnapping team time to arrest them.
“We were careful to avoid harming the children. The suspects had been terrorising Benin City for some time before we nabbed them.

“When we got their location and moved against them, they resisted and shot our policemen but we got them at last. I want to urge criminals to vacate this state because we would get them.
“We actually monitored these kidnappers and did a coordinated tracking of their telephone numbers and their location,” the CP added.
The alleged kingpin of the syndicate, Lucky Usifo, had been on the wanted list of the Police for over a period of time.
Usifo, fondly called General, confessed before newsmen at the Police headquarters in Benin City saying, “Really, I am the gang leader. Mine was just to receive information about a prospective victim and I would organise the show.
“I work with insiders or close relatives of our victims. I prefer kidnapping children from five years below. They are easy to handle. Once you capture and give them assurance that you love them, they would be calm.
“I feed them with bobo, pap and noodles. Sometimes, they would make request for a choice of food but when you explain to them that you don’t have the money to buy the food, they would understand.
“The operation that put us in this mess was the kidnap of twin sisters. They are three years old. It was Frank that brought the deal.
Frank, according to reports, lives in the same compound with the twins’ parents.
He was said to have given the gang leader a clue on how they could work on one Junior who would give them access to the compound.
“We really perfected the plans and picked the girls. We took them to our camp in the bush where we fed them with pap, soft drinks and biscuits,” Usifo added.
“My anger is that Frank played over our intelligence, we demanded for N1million ransom and Frank went behind to collect the money. They did not give us a dime.
“Frank just used us to collect money from the victims’ family. We later realised that Frank and his sister had collected the ransom and warned the family to stop picking our calls.
“We were armed robbers before we went into kidnapping. We have just carried out two kidnappings, but we have carried out several robbery operations.
“I am from Igeduma, our hit man; Samuel Iredia is from Afuze in Edo State. Iredia is our driver but whenever there is need to confront the Police in gun duel, he is a professional. He is also useful whenever there is need to shoot our enemies.
“Osamuyi Idahosa is the guard; he keeps watch over our camp. Frank is from Agbor. He is just an informant. The lady in our gang is the person that feeds our victims,” the suspect confessed.

A University in Canada has reportedly apologised for admitting 500 students by mistake.
York University reportedly sent out apology messages to students who received admission, saying they made a 'mistake.'
The spokesperson for the institution explained, "There was a processing error whereby approximately 500 individuals were sent emails indicating they had been accepted for admission to York. This occurred immediately after the university had sent emails to acknowledge their applications had been received."
On Monday, one of the affected students, Jailani, received an email from York saying, "Congratulations! You are being offered admission to York University."
A day later, he received another email saying, "You recently received an offer of admission email from York University. Please accept our apologies — we made a mistake ...
Jailani didn't hide his disappointment. He tweeted, "I hate university already :)," a tweet which was liked almost 3000 times.
Rider said the school has apologized to the students. She added that they've been informed their applications are under consideration.

The world’s richest 62 people now own as much wealth as half of the world’s population, according to a report by the charity Oxfam. Super-rich individuals saw an increase of 44 percent since 2010, taking their cumulative wealth to $1.76 trillion – equivalent to the total owned by 3.5 billion of the world’s poorest people. The UK-based charity on Monday also said tax havens were helping corporations and individuals stash away about $7.6 trillion, depriving governments of $190bn in tax revenue every year.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Oxfam Australia’s Chief Executive Helen Szoke said there were no appropriate mechanisms to check if wealth was being shared appropriately. “We believe there is a need for commitments from global business leaders and political leaders for major tax reform to get rid of the tax havens,” Szoke said. “There’s too much leakage of what should be paid in taxation exacerbating this gap [between rich and poor].”
Referring to economic growth in Western countries, such as her native Australia, Szoke said little wealth was reaching the impoverished. “The startling figure in our domestic context in Australia is that where there has been wealth generation in the last decade, none of that has actually trickled down to some of the Australians who are poor.”

The US has imposed fresh sanctions on Iranian companies and individuals over a recent ballistic missile test. The new sanctions prevent 11 entities and individuals linked to the missile programme from using the US banking system. The move came after international nuclear sanctions on Iran were lifted as part of a deal hailed by President Barack Obama on Sunday as “smart”.
Four American-Iranians were also freed in a prisoner swap as part of the deal. Among them was Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian – whom President Obama described as “courageous”. A fifth American was freed separately. Rezaian and two of the others freed flew to a US base in Germany via Geneva for medical evaluation.
Another, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, did not fly out with the others, US officials said. A fifth man, Matthew Trevithick, was freed in a separate process. The US said it had offered clemency to seven Iranians being held in the US for sanctions violations. Negotiations in December over the prisoner exchange delayed the US Treasury’s imposition of the latest sanctions.
They were only announced once the plane containing the former prisoners had left Iran, reports said. They were triggered by Iran conducting a precision-guided ballistic missile test capable of delivering a nuclear warhead last October, violating a United Nations ban. “Iran’s ballistic missile programme poses a significant threat to regional and global security, and it will continue to be subject to international sanctions,” said Adam J Szubin, US acting under-secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
