Effiong who vowed that the command will not allow any form of criminal activities in the state disclosed that seven out of the eight kidnappers who abducted the CEO of an Oil company on the Rumuokoro flyover were nabbed and their victim rescued. This was achieved when operatives of the command stormed the camps of fake Civilian JTF in Ahoada and Omoku.

“Twenty-two kidnap suspects and 27 armed robbers were arrested while three police officers were killed within the time under review,” he stated.

BREAKING: Brazil Legend, Pele, Dies at 82 After Battle with Cancer

His death was confirmed by family on social media.

He had been battling colon cancer since 2021, with a medical report just before Christmas showing that he required care for cardiac and renal dysfunction.

He had been admitted to the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Sao Paulo on November 29.


Earlier this week, Pele’s daughter, Kely Nascimento, had confirmed members of his family would spend Christmas in the hospital with him.

On Saturday, she posted a picture on Instagram which showed her sitting next to one of Pele’s sons, Edinho, and two of his children at the hospital.


“He (Edson) is here,” Kely Nascimento wrote alongside the picture, adding in a hashtag “I will not be leaving, nobody will take me out of here.”


Pele appeared on the global scene as a 17-year-old at the 1958 World Cup, helping Brazil to the first of their record five successes.


Injury affected Pele’s contribution to the 1962 and 1966 finals, but he returned to lead Brazil to a third triumph, this time in Mexico in 1970 as part of what is widely regarded as the greatest international team of all time.


Officially, Pele scored 757 goals in 831 games during a career from 1957 to 1977, although club Santos claim his tally was closer to 1,000.
