Police has caught up with 5 suspected kidnappers who, over the years, have randomly abducted residents of Imo and Abia states. Unlike most of the kidnap cases that rely on information, this set believes that it is safer to comb the area and pick victims based on their financial status. The suspects, identified as Ugochukwu Gabriel Mbah, Kenneth Levi, Onyema Uzodinma, Udochukwu Nwanguma and Nduka Nwankwo were recently arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police, Special Intelligence Response Team (SIRT).

It was gathered that the detectives acted on intelligence report shortly after they released their latest victim, a South-Africa based businessman. The officer in charge of the SIRT, CSP Abba Kyari was said to have deployed detectives from Abuja to Owerri, the Imo state capital, from where they tracked and arrested five members of the gang. In the course of investigations, it was revealed that the gang coordinated most of their operations with the help of their members inside Owerri prison.

The current leader of the gang, Ugochukwu, aged 33 was picked up in-front of Owerri prison shortly after he had gone there to give their members update on their activities while others were picked in Imo, Anambra and Abia states. Two AK47rifles, 2 magazines with 52 rounds of live ammunition, one Beretta pistol and one pump action gun were also recovered from their amoury in Umuakpala village in Abia state. They also discovered their hideouts in Mbaise and Egbu in Owerri North, all in Imo state.
