He identified the slain suspects as Bala Idris, Hassan Idris and Baso Idris.
Odama, while briefing journalists during a press conference at the police command in Ilorin on Monday, said the kidnappers were apprehended when they were about to abduct their targets.
He said, “During an exchange of gunfire, three of the kidnappers were neutralised while two suspects, Lagi Bala and Iliasu Idris, were arrested.
“During the incident, three locally-made guns were recovered, while the arrested suspects confessed to being kidnappers and cattle rustlers.

“Investigation is ongoing to arrest the remaining members of the gang, while the two arrested suspects would be charged as soon as investigation is concluded.”
