The Edo State Police Command has arrested 16 suspected kidnappers in the Edo Central senatorial district. Following the arrests, Senator Monday Okpebholo has issued a directive for the immediate demolition of all houses linked to the suspects.

A source from the State CID revealed that Okpebholo's directive mandates security agents to raid all hideouts of kidnappers and other criminal gangs, and to demolish any buildings harboring them. The prosecution of the suspects is set to commence soon.

Okpebholo commended the efforts of the security agents, stating that the demolition of the hideouts would serve as a deterrent to other criminals operating in the state. He emphasized that the activities of cultists and other criminals would no longer be tolerated under his administration.

Senator Monday Okpebholo also announced the deployment of five Hilux vans to security agents in the Edo North senatorial district to patrol the area and eliminate any criminal activity. He highlighted the purchase of 75 Hilux vans to enhance the security of the state's residents.

Okpebholo stressed that the buildings to be demolished were confirmed to be used as dens for criminal activities.

Edo is the only place on earth where GENDER EQUALITY is 💯 % practiced as it should be GLOBALLY, Egede woman na MAN that side oo... dem dey mend any one , opo and agakreess dey hustle pass DIDDY BOYS

Nice move

Our government should apply Congo law on these guys if convicted.

Good one . No hiding place for criminals in Edo.

Great news

The population of kidnappers & dangerous criminals is increasing every day.

We need to bring back public execution by firing squad as a deterrent.

Nice one! I pray he doesn't deviate in future.

The kidnapping happening in Edo central is not talked about enough. Imagine kidnapper going from house to house picking kidnapping people. That's exactly what's been happening in Udakpa, Edo central. Farmers don't even go to farm again. My dad can't step into the farm.

Kudos to the police

. Very good.

Give dem yellow /blue prison ready-made shirt,tie dem together like those Congo inmates and KILL THEM ALL .

Worthless bastards

Learner Governor indeed.

When Has Demolishing Houses Linked To Kidnappers Stopped Kidnapping Or Crime?

The Governor ought to know better. He should be more interested in fighting the root cause of the crime(s) and not in taking actions that are totally cosmetic just to please the crowd.

Was d house built for d purpose of kidnapping.
Abi which kain yeye demolition be dat

What happens to death sentence for kidnappers


Same sentence should be meted out to those who loot public treasury

The arrest of 16 suspected kidnappers in Edo Central is a big win for security and the demolition of any buildings linked to these criminals send strong message.

Highly commendable. But the houses shouldn’t have been destroyed. It can serve a whole different purpose

OK


Say no to crime .

Demolition of the hideouts and confiscatio of the land is the pattern which Governor Peter Obi used to sanitize Anambra State in those days

All this Amnesty and human activism is not helping at all. Criminals have to start facing firing squad in public place and their dead bodies deposited in their family house just as u've mentioned. The rate of crime is too much n it seems nothing is really deterring them anymore

Okpebolo is working

is those houses belongs to kidnerpers if not it's a bad decision

Good.
Auchi and Ekpoma areas have become den of kidnappers and ritual killers for the past 2 years. They operate freely in broad daylight as if there are no security agencies.

There is always a case of young men & women missing in Auchi almost on a daily basis.

How will demolishing the house affect you or average Nigerian. Ofcus to see all they've laboured for being demolished is something that will pain them

Good job pls no 3 years jail term for them pls give them minimum of 20 years imprisonment let them grow old inside prison before regaining their freedom and same treatmet for those cultist boys go after them, our law too soft on all these miscreants since they are not happy having freedom then take it from them for a very long time to send signal to others all these nonsense will stop everybody head go reset proper.

until they start sending this guilty kidnappers to firing squad, this menace wont stop

What towns and communities constitute Edo central?

How I wish Nigeria will apply the laws like under millitary in full force. Open execution for armed robbery, murder

You must be a kidnapper or wife to a kidnapper

Your days are numbered.
Hand go touch you
