Imo Governor Hails Security Operatives On Arrest Of 30 Kidnap Suspects

The Imo State Governor has lauded the efforts of the security agencies in Imo state over the arrest of about 30 Kidnap suspects.

The arrests were made after series of attacks on traditional leaders in the Imo state in recent times.

30 suspected kidnappers were arrested following a raid by a joint security team on their camps in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State and Uli Community in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State

A traditional ruler who was kidnapped in Okigwe Local Government Area on Sunday, Eze Acho Ndukwe was rescued from his captors during the raid.

The governor while speaking with Channels Television commended the joint effort of all the security agencies.

He said,
“I want to commend the security agencies in Imo State, the DSS, the army, the navy, the police, the civil defense, all of them, for putting their heads together and making sure that, at least, Imo people come home to celebrate Christmas.

“It has been a great thing of worry, wondering how the entire local governments like Orsu local government would be abandoned in the hands of criminals and cannibals.

“From what we have seen, you will agree with me that these are criminals and bandits who have no future, no plan, who are killing human beings and roasting human beings, eating human beings, cannibals.

“How else are we supposed to treat these kinds of idiots, if not to ensure that the law takes its course.

“Often times we discuss our strategies and before they will be implemented, it is foiled by the group. Because of mutual suspicion, we have agreed to only discuss at the end of every operation.

“I don’t want to encourage security agencies to tell anybody how they intend to continue this fight. But I know the new strategy is working and my government will give them every support they need to ensure that there is peace in Imo State and then Imo people will be better off for it.”
