The arrested girlfriend of kidnap kingpin, Obioma Nwankwo, a.k.a Osisikankwu, simply identified as Ogochi has revealed to soldiers where her ex-lover hid his arms when he held sway as kidnap generalissimo and terrorised Abia State and Aba in particular.

Osisikankwu, his girlfriend, Ogochi, alongside two others, Polycarp and Chinedu were arrested by soldiers of Operation Jubilee, the special task force in Abia from the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Enugu, on December 12 at an evil forest near the Obokwe market in Ukwa West Local Government Area.

Osisikankwu and the other two male comrades-in-arms were shot dead in a crossfire with soldiers while Ogochi was taken into custody.
During interrogation, the bandit’s girlfriend said to be three months pregnant, revealed to soldiers the exact locations in Ugwuati and other evil forests where her ex-boyfriend hid thousands of arms and ammunition with which they terrorised Abia and neighbouring states.

Consequent upon the revelation, according to a release by the Assistant Director, Public Relations of the 82 Div. of the Nigerian Army, Enugu, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa, the Division’s GOC, Maj-Gen. Sarki Yaki Bello on Wednesday last week led a cordon and search operation into the evil forests.
The mop up of arms operation recorded huge success as the army recovered the following new arms from the mentioned areas: 48 empty magazine of AK 47; 3,848 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition; 538 rounds of 7.62 mm Nato; 41 expended cases of 7.62mm special ammunition; some quantity of dynamite and 3 RPG prima.

Addressing the soldiers after the new discoveries, Maj-Gen Bello directed them to be more vigilant and re-double efforts to arrest fleeing kidnap kingpins and to comb the evil forests of Obokwe, Ogwe and Ugwuati where it is believed thousands of arms and ammunition are still hidden.
He reiterated his call on fleeing kidnap kingpins to give themselves up as there was no hiding place for them, stressing that officers and men of the task force would leave no stone unturned in apprehending them.
While thanking locals for volunteering information that have aided the army in its operations, he, however, called for more information which would help in tracking the runaway kidnap leaders.
