Commissioner of Police Ikechukwu Aduba represented by his assistant, Taiwo Lakanu, made this known in Asaba while parading 11 suspects for crimes ranging from alleged kidnapping and robbery.
He said the weapons training was to ensure combat readiness and ensure crime reduction in the state.
The training, in its second stage, takes place at the PMF base in Ogwashi-Uku ,Aniocha South Local Government.
Aduba decried the lukewarm attitude of kidnap victims and their relations towards assisting security agencies.
The police chief said the command may be forced to recommend sanctions for traditional rulers whose domains have been turned to kidnappers’ den.
Aduba said his men acting on a tip-off from Oghara vigilance group smashed a notorious gang accused of abducting Mrs. Joyce Ofere.
He said on May 22, kidnap suspects abducted Mrs. Ofere taking her away in her Audi car with registration number AG 433 ABH.
His words: “She was released after N1.5 million was paid.
Suspects arrested include Ese Adjashoke (30), Daniel Ekaye(26),Onorode Adgbuiye (30) and Abraham Ogadotayire (23).
“The suspects, who hail from Oghara in Ethiope West Local Government, have confessed to the crime.
“Recovered were two cars, two cutlasses and a sim card.”
In a related development, the commissioner said his men acting on a tip-off laid siege at Awor Waterside in Warri for some kidnap suspects.
According to him, the suspects engaged the police in a shoot-out and were injured. They escaped into the river.
