Fresh Facts On How Delta Kidnapping Kingpin Was Nabbed,How He Killed Two Of His Aides

Emerging Fresh facts revealed how Kelvin, whose operations reportedly spread across the Niger Delta and beyond, was nabbed on Wednesday. His car was bugged and a tracker installed.

Contrary to initial report that he was tracked after last Wednesday’s 60-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, it was authoritatively gathered that security operatives had been on his trail at least two weeks before the declaration.

It was gathered that a section of the security services was blanked out from the investigations because of concerns that some of them may have been compromised by the gang.

A top official of the DSS said Kelvin escaped arrest for so long by shunning a luxury lifestyle and moving about in taxis and vans.

“He usually drove around in rickety vehicles used as taxi. That way he was able to avoid drawing attention to himself. That was how he was able to beat all checkpoints around the area.”

Besides, it was gathered that the JTF narrowly missed arresting him months ago, when he killed two of his close friends who he accused of giving information to the security apparatus of the state government.

“What he did was to get the phone of those his aides and he dialled the number of some security top shots who he knew were working on his case. He was surprised to find that the boys had the number. Without wasting time, he wasted them both,” our source said.

It was gathered that the death of the two moles hampered investigations until the SSS stepped in, infiltrated his camp and bugged his car.
