Men of the Edo State Security Corps have arrested two suspects who specialize in snatching motorcycles for kidnappers operating in forests.
In a recent operation, the Edo State Security Corps apprehended two individuals accused of stealing motorcycles to supply kidnappers hiding in forested areas. This arrest highlights ongoing efforts to curb criminal activities linked to kidnapping in the region.
The suspects were nabbed for their role in providing transport to forest-based kidnappers, a tactic that facilitates abductions and escapes in remote locations. Officials from the security corps confirmed the duo's specialization in these thefts, which directly support kidnapping operations.
No further details on the suspects' identities or the exact location of the arrest were disclosed in initial reports. This development comes amid broader security challenges in Edo State, where motorcycle thefts have been tied to organized crime.
