In a daring operation on the morning of February 5, 2024, operatives of the Department of Federal Intelligence – Intelligence Response Team (DFI-IRT) successfully neutralized the notorious bandit leader, Isa Dei-Dei, during a fierce encounter in the suburbs of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The operation, sparked by crucial intelligence, aimed at apprehending the criminal group and foiling their potential kidnapping attempt.
At approximately 10:15 am, the elite operatives, armed with strategic information about the hideout of the criminal syndicate, swiftly moved to the location. The targeted bandit group, under the leadership of Isa Dei-Dei, became aware of the approaching law enforcement and attempted to evade capture. However, a determined pursuit ensued, leading to a high-stakes gun battle between the operatives and the criminal elements.
In the intense exchange of gunfire, Isa Dei-Dei, the notorious mastermind behind numerous criminal activities, was successfully neutralized by the skilled and courageous DFI-IRT operatives.
Although the bandit leader met his demise, other members of the syndicate managed to escape the scene, sustaining gunshot injuries in the process.
In light of this development, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has issued a public appeal. He urges members of the public, particularly medical practitioners, to be vigilant and report any individuals seeking medical attention for gunshot wounds.
This call is part of the ongoing efforts to track down and apprehend the remaining members of the bandit group, ensuring that justice prevails.
The successful operation serves as a testament to the dedication and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in combating criminal activities.
The DFI-IRT continues to work tirelessly to maintain the safety and security of the public, sending a clear message to criminals that they will be pursued and brought to justice.
