In a coordinated effort to dismantle criminal networks in Bayelsa State, troops from the 16 Brigade Headquarters, alongside operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have apprehended three men suspected of involvement in a recent kidnapping.
The intelligence-led operation was executed in the early hours of Tuesday, March 12. Acting on precise leads, the joint team stormed targeted hideouts in Yenagoa Town at approximately 12:05 a.m., taking the suspects into custody without incident.
Security sources confirmed that the individuals are currently being held by the DSS for interrogation. This latest arrest is part of an intensified crackdown by security agencies to eliminate the wave of abductions and violent crime currently affecting the state capital.
