Suspected militants numbering about

Delta State. The shootout also led to
the death of a police officer.
Kelly and others were said to have

the past.
On their arrest, Sunday Sun learnt

cent times.
According to sources from the police,
Kelly, after getting his own share of
the loot travelled down to Sapale to
attend a wedding where detectives
who had been on his trail incident arÂ
rested him.
On realizing that the game was up,
Kelly and some of his members, who
were with him at the scene started
shooting at the police. He was later
arrested with gun injuries.
Efforts are still on to arrest the rest
of the gang who are now on the run.
