The troops of 13 Brigade, 82 Division, Nigerian Army,
have arrested a suspected notorious militant kingpin,
Mr. Victory Benjamin, famously known as Abuja Daddy
or G3.
The breakthrough came one week after the troops of
Two Brigade Nigerian Army in the ongoing Crocodile
Smile operation in the Niger Delta region, raided a
notorious kidnappers’ camp at Obiozumini near Obite in
Ogbema/Ndoni/Egbema Local Government Area of
Rivers State.
According to Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting
Director Army Public Relations, Abuja Daddy was
arrested at Saint Joseph Hospital, Ikot Ene junction,
Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State
while attempting to collect ransom from a kidnapped
victim’s relation.
In a related development, the troops also nabbed three
militants with locally made pistol and some cartridges
while robbing victims around Refugees Camp at Efut
Isigi in Bakassi Local Government Area, Cross Rivers
State.
Meanwhile, troops have cordoned off the residence of
the most wanted militant kingpin, Alias G1, who is still
at large.
Already, two arrested militants known as “G2” and “G3”
are providing useful information that would assist the
military to track other criminals in the region.
