Determined to flush out kidnappers from Abia State, officials of the state
security at the weekend pulled down four houses at Ndinkefa compound, in
Amafo autonomous
community, which
were used by kidnappers to habour their victims.

Special Adviser to the state Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Awa Udonsi Agwu, who led the
exercise, told journalists that the
action was part of
the measures to enforce extant government policy
that any building used by kidnappers for their nefarious activities would be demolished.

The demolished buildings were allegedly used as den, in a kidnap
case involving a man at Aba.

The discovery was sequel to the report made to nearby military
personnel, by members of the community, who
had observed strange movement around the building.

The soldiers reportedly
responded promptly, by
moving into the location, from where the kidnapped man
was rescued. One of the kidnappers was also arrested while the man alleged to be the
main culprit, whose
name was given as Agbai Agbai Kalu escaped.

Agwu iterated that the governor remains
determined to flushing out kidnappers in the
state, hence there would be no hesitation in pulling down any building involved in the
crime.

He commended the security agencies in the state especially the military, for making the
exercise possible, and commended the indigenes of Mkporo for
reporting the unusual movement in their neibourhood to security agents without fear.

The Special Adviser urged other communities; groups and individuals to tow
the line of Nkporo community, by reporting suspected
movements to security agencies.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Godwin
Adindu, urged the youths to shun crime, in order to avoid bringing
hardship to their people.
