At least four suspected bandits were nabbed when professional hunters raided a hideout of kidnappers around Osara in Okehi Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that the hunters destroyed large farm of Indian hemp suspected to belong to the bandits.
According to reports, suspected criminals turned the forest into an Indian hemp farm where they also trained special breed of dogs to ward off invasion of their territory.
During the raid, ten of the guard dogs were reportedly killed.
The bandits, it was gathered, engage in kidnapping especially along the Lokoja-Okene Road.
