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.
Speaking after the operation, the chairman of Okehi Local Government Area, Abdulraheem Ohiare who led the operation, warned that Kogi State is no go area for criminal elements, noting that they will continue to hunt down criminals found within the state.
He commended the state governor, Yahaya Bello for his unrelenting efforts in making Kogi State the safest state in Nigeria today.
