The recently launched Operation “Udo Ga Chi” Security Outfit in Anambra state, popularly known as Agunechemba, has smashed a Kidnappers’ den and hideout, and arrests scores of suspects and release victims held captive at Isiagu Community in Awka South Local Government Area.Also, the two buildings where kidnap victims, are being kept awaiting ransom payments, were also destroyed by the security outfit as the landlords have ultimately forfeited those properties to the state government.According to reports, the security operatives acted on the information made available to them by members of the public, about suspected activities of criminals in the area.It was also gathered that the landlords of the two buildings were in the know of what had been going on in their respective houses but failed to report to the police or any security agency, probably out of fear or collusion.Confirming this development the Special Adviser to Gov. Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Prince Kenneth Emeakayi, said that the activities of the security outfit were in line with the laid down laws of the state.“We are here at Isiagu Community in Awka South local government area of Anambra state where we discovered that these two buildings have been hideouts for Kidnappers and this is where they keep their victims while waiting for ransoms tobe paid.“From investigations and findings some of the kidnap victims that regained their freedom confirmed that even the landlords of the two buildings are aware of what has been going on in their buildings but they refused to report to the police or any security agency.“And in line with the laws of Anambra state any building found to be harbouring kidnappers would be forfeited by the landlord and the building would ultimately be destroyed and the land becomes the property of the Anambra state government.Emeakayi, however, advised landlords who do not live at their buildings to ensure the type of tenants they rent their houses to, adding that they must not hesitate to report suspicious persons or group of persons to appropriate authorities for necessary action.Emeakayi however did not disclose the number of suspects that were arrested or the whereabout of the affected landlords promising to make them public after investigations are concluded.He also confirmed that some of the gang members are on the run but was quick to add that the outfit is keeping Intel on them.Recall that the “Udo Ga Chi” Security Outfit, was launch last week Saturday by Gov Soludo, flagging off the kinetic and non-kinetic approach towards fighting insecurity in Anambra state.
