Notorious Abuja bandit killed

The Nigeria Police Force has said that it killed one Isa Dei-Dei, a notorious bandit leader terrorising the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

An informant had tipped off the elite police unit, DFI-IRT, about Dei-Dei’s movement at an FCT suburb.

The police said they swiftly moved to the location, where they engaged the bandit leader and members of his gang in an exchange of gunfire.

“In the process, the notorious Isa Dei-Dei was neutralized while other members of the syndicate managed to escape with gunshot injuries,” the police said.

The police warn “members of the public, most especially medical practitioners, to call our attention to anyone or patients seen with gunshot wounds for further investigation.”
