The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested eight members of a kidnapping syndicate that abducted some school children and their teachers in Emure, Ekiti State recently.
Parading the suspected kidnappers on Friday evening, the police spokesperson, Sunday Abutu, said the breakthrough was made possible through the dogged efforts of men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
Mr Abutu said that while the police was trying to apprehend the kidnappers, there was an exchange of gunfire, which led to the killing of one of the suspects.
