Bayelsa killing: Police pay killers N1m to rescue kidnapped victim

Fresh facts emerged on Thursday that Mr. Lucky Ebebi, one of the 12 policemen who were reportedly killed after an ambush by gunmen in Azuzuama Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, is alive.

Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen freed Ebebi, 31, on Wednesday after collecting N1m ransom from the police.

Ebebi, a police corporal, who had spent seven years in the service, was admitted at the Emergency Ward of the Federal Medical Centre where he was treated of minor gunshot injury.

He was, however, discharged on Thursday morning and reported at the state police headquarters, Yenagoa, for debriefing.
 When our correspondent contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Alex Akhigbe, he said he was in a meeting.
 
He, however, promised to speak to our correspondent after the meeting.
