Men of the De­partment of State Security (DSS) in Edo State have nabbed six men allegedly involved in the kidnap of a former Local Government chair­man in the state, Mr. An­selm Adima.

The suspects were also said to be involved in the kidnap of a woman, who was raped in the presence of her daughter, and pic­tures of the act taken. The daughter, also a victim of the kidnappers, was how­ever, said to have been spared the trauma of the kidnappers’ raging libido.

Another suspect was said to have been a fraud­ster, who impersonates the Chief of Air Staff to hood­wink his unsuspecting vic­tims.

Parading the suspects before Governor Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday, Director of the state com­mand of the Department of State Security (DSS), Mr. Bello said: “This group of criminals paraded are those involved in fraud, kidnap­ping, car snatching and robbery.

He said: “The group was involved in the kidnapping of the former Transitional Committee chairman of Esan North East Local Government Area, Mr. Anselm Adima, where N3 million was paid as ran­som.

“One of these boys is a notorious fraudster, who goes about swindling mem­bers of the public and even impersonating the Chief of Air Staff. We have this one, Isaac collecting money from the public using the name of one Mr. Balogun and just recently, many cases have been established against him in Jos and other places and luckily, he was arrested recently based on a complaint from the Air­force, that someone was going about impersonating the Chief of Air Staff.”
