Wawu. If the Obidient or our brothers from one region starts hating you, God just opens showers of blessings. However, if they start supporting you, abeg run far away. |

Enugu State The situation is not different in Enugu State, as it has experienced and is still experiencing its share of kidnappings. Enugu metropolis could be said to have witnessed some security relief since the Mbah administration but the outskirts, particularly the Ugwogo-Opi-Nsukka road axis, Ituku Ozalla, Four-Corner-Udi road, Umumba and Mgbabgu Ìwa, and, indeed many communities in Ezeagu area council, are steadily, witnessing kidnapping incidents, mainly by herdsmen. Many communities in Ezeagu council are living in fear of kidnappers. Almost every week, their people are kidnapped, taken to bushes in the area, and made to pay ransom before being freed. A recent victim in a trending video, lamented what the people of the area are constantly going through in the hands of kidnappers he alleged were Fulani herdsmen. He said many kidnapped victims were inside the bush where they were kept, and the kidnappers were in four separate groups, adding that each of the members was fully armed with sophisticated weapons. According to him, the leader of the group that held him boasted that they were just an advance group, that more would soon join them, and that they would take over the area. “I think the security agencies in the state are not telling the governor the truth about the activities of these killer herdsmen. These people are dealing with Ndi Enugu, especially in Ezeagu, Isi-Uzo, and Uzo-Uwani axis. ‘’I advise the governor to probe more and, if possible set up alternative credible ways to get credible security information around the states. No doubt, some heads of the security agencies will be doing what we call “eye service”, a stakeholder from Ezeagu said. For instance, Ugwuogo-Opi Nsukka road has become a notorious route where kidnapping and other violent criminal activities occur regularly. Travelling along this very busy road is now a source of worry and fear to motorists and travellers because of the high criminal activities being witnessed on the road almost daily, even with the presence of many checkpoints manned by security agents mounted at short intervals along the road. Despite this security presence, abductions have been taking place on the road, fuelling suspicion of security agent’s connivance with the kidnappers. These numerous checkpoints mounted at strategic positions on the highway are manned by soldiers, policemen, and neighbourhood watch members, yet the kidnappers continuously block vehicles and abduct motorists and their passengers. In June 2023, commercial drivers protested against the high rate of kidnapping on the route and threatened to withdraw from it. After the protest, on June 27, 2023, police paraded two suspects, identified as Sani Usman, 25 years, and Landi Usman, aged 30, both from Sokoto State, who were suspected to be among the kidnappers terrorizing travellers on Ugwuogo-Opi Nsukka road. |
Imo State Imo State could rightly be said to be the harbinger of the present kidnappings and general insecurity in the region. This ugly situation could be traced to the attack on Owerri Prisons in April 2021, during which many criminals fled. It was in the Imo security crisis that the new security lexicon of ‘’unknown gunmen’’ was coined. Imo was at a time literally under siege by criminals. From Okigwe to Oguta to Orsu to Orlu, no part of the state was safe. Attacks and killings were going on almost on an hourly basis. It was, indeed, a horrible situation. Virtually all communities in the Orlu area and some rural communities in Okigwe were deserted as the residents fled for fear of attacks. In the Orsu council area, the residents are still living in fear. Mostly, the traditional rulers have abandoned their subjects and relocated to Owerri and other urban cities because of threats to their lives. As of now, they are yet to fully return to their palaces; they have, however, been able in their little way to bring sanity to their communities, following the invasion of camps in their area by security operatives. Last year, the monarchs and people of Orsu under the name Odinmma Orsu Initiative, led by Eze-Elect, Eze Ezekiel .I. Nwokedi, and Secretary, Barr. Remi Ezedioramma-Agwuezie, began to put heads together on how to restore sanity to the communities, but the situation is not yet calm and many of them have not returned to their communities. Orsu residents still live in fear because of the presence of people they described as armed militia groups claiming to be members of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, an armed wing of IPOB, still operating in their forests. In Okigwe area, some of the residents who spoke to Vanguard said Okigwe town was safe, compared to other rural neighbouring communities such as Umualumoke, Aku, Gariki market, Ihube, Amagu, Amuro, among others. Ikenna Nna, a resident of one of the affected communities, said: “We don’t sleep at night. We go to Okigwe town to sleep if you want to sleep. The shooting in the night is too much. Sometimes, you see these boys driving through our communities freely. Nobody can stop them. “Once you start to hear gunshots, know that they are clashing with soldiers. If you don’t take cover you may be hit by stray bullets. So, this is our experience in this area. It is very unfortunate.” According to a resident of Amuro and a community leader who did not want to be named, “we pray every day for God’s protection. These boys are living in the bushes of Okigwe doing all sorts of evil. ‘’They come to own, kidnap people and take them to their hideouts in the forests. So, it is time the military invaded all the forests in and around Okigwe to dislodge these boys. This is getting out of hand.” The insecurity in the Oguta area has been linked largely to the activities of oil bunkerers and supremacy battles among them. A former chairman of Oguta Council Area, who pleaded anonymity, said: “The insecurity in our Oguta area is largely caused by those involved in the oil bunkering business. I have been a council chairman and we know some of these things. ‘’You see people struggling to be in control of the oil bunkering business because there is too much money in it. Before you know it, they start killing one another. When you see one group defeat the other, those defeated will look for other things to do, like kidnapping, and stealing among other things. “I am not saying we don’t have criminals in Oguta, but I am saying if you investigate, 90 per cent of the crimes started like this. Some areas like Ejemekwuru forest is dangerous.” A community leader from Obudi-Agwa said: “Since our traditional ruler was killed, there has been tension in our community. What we experience now is terrible. The bad boys are operating with reckless abandon and intimidating everybody. ‘’I now live in Owerri, because of fear. Anytime you hear about killing, expect that there will be a reprisal attack.” A lady, who gave her name as Julian Nnaukwu, noted: “In my own Agwa community, the insecurity there is too much. What we are seeing now are people who are carrying out revenge attacks. It is a bad situation. We only visit our community carefully to avoid attack.” Orlu council area, though very volatile before, has been witnessing relative peace, according to a former President-General of one the communities in the area who now lives in Owerri metropolis. His words: “Peace is gradually returning to Orlu but the area is still hot. There is still anxiety and people still live in fear. You open business in the morning and before 6 pm, you are already thinking of closing your shop. It was not like this before. ‘’The Orlu town we used to know was a bubbling town. It was full of commercial activities 24 hours a day. At that time, we did not have anything to do with Owerri. Now, things have changed; fears, killings, and attacks have pushed many of us away from Orlu. We pray that gradually, as peace is returning, let it be sustained.’’ Also, a trader in the Umuoma community, who introduced himself as Dee Raphael, noted that “businesses are not moving again. We are suffering and our businesses are dying. We need economic activities to return fully to Orlu town”. In Awo-Omamma, residents lamented the negative effects of kidnapping. According to a motorcyclist, who simply gave his name as Ekwe, and who usually plied the road between Awo-Omamma and Oguta, “these boys come from the forests in Orsu area to Oguta and Awo-Omamma to launch attacks and go back to their base. Usually on Mondays, we are very careful because of the sit-at-home day as anything can happen. “So, we have decided to close early from work or you do not come out at all. This is very bad. It is destroying our businesses and people are suffering so much. We need help and somebody to rescue us.” Imo State police command, through the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Henry Okoye, said: “There is heavy deployment of security operatives, comprising of the armed forces, police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and other security agencies, on confidence-building patrol and operation show-of-force across the length and breadth of Imo State. ‘’Also, intelligence-led operations are on-going in the state to flush out criminally-minded syndicates perpetrating violent crimes in the state.” In its reaction, Imo State government said it was doing a lot to tackle insecurity, including the donation of 32 operational vehicles and refurbished 11 Armoured Personnel Carriers, APCs, for security agencies in the state. The efforts, according to Governor Hope Uzodimma’s Chief Press Secretary, Oguike Nwachukwu, are aimed at supporting the security agencies “to continue their efforts in the fight against crime and criminality and protect lives and property in the state. “The repaired Armored Personnel Carriers and other vehicles will be deployed to the field for operations as a way to support the police in their determined efforts to reduce crime and criminality to the barest minimum in the society.’’ |
