I just read a false information from Oshiomole from APC that Peter Obi didn't do anything about insecurity when he was governor of Anambra State.

I am sharing this info so every sane person can know that Oshiomole is lying.

GOVERNOR Peter Obi’s administration in Anambra State has adopted a new approach to the fight against kidnapping with the policy of sealing off any hotel or house where suspected kidnappers operate from.

Already, one hotel located at Nkpor near Onitsha and two houses at Nri in Anaocha local government area have been sealed by the governor.


Gov. Peter Obi sealing buildings used to keep kidnapped victims at Uruorji Village, Nri,

It all began when security operatives, after a long period of investigation, traced some people to the hotel and on interrogation, discovered that they were using the hotel as a base where they kept their victims while negotiating with members of the families. The police promptly arrested four suspected kidnappers there and went after its owner, who was traced to Enugu where he was also arrested. They are still helping the police in their investigations. The police gave the names of the four persons suspected to be kidnappers as Chinedu Eze, Obumneme Madugha, Okezue Chukwuemeka and John Okoro.


According to the police, the arrested persons made confessional statements that helped the police to rescue two kidnapped victims whose names were given as Mr. Augustine Emeka, operations manager of Zenith Bank at Nkpor and Sir Vincent Ohiagwu from Uga in Aguata local government area. Both men were kidnapped on July 29, 2012.

As news on the arrest filtered into Government House in Awka, Governor Obi led security operatives to the area where he announced the sealing up of the hotel and stressed, during the operation, that his government would continue to work round the clock to prevent the resurgence of kidnapping and other violent crimes in the state.

Mansion under construction

Barely six days after the hotel was sealed, the governor again took off with his security aides and destination was Nri in Anaocha local government area. The first port of call was an expansive, but a lonely compound housing a bungalow and a one-storey mansion under construction. The only occupants of the house were a security guard, Mr. Banarbas Nasamu, from Adamawa State and his wife with their only child. Last year, security operatives had raided the compound during which suspected kidnappers and their victims were found.

Obi said the decision to visit the house was because there were reports that it was still serving as a base for kidnappers after last year’s incident and he promptly announced that the compound had been sealed. He again moved to another village in the community where another bungalow just being completed was fingered as another base for kidnappers and equally announced that it would also be sealed off.

According to the governor, the houses and the hotel suspected to be a hide out for suspected kidnappers in the state would be demolished and the land converted to government use if investigations proved that kidnappers were actually using them. The one-storey mansion, with a pent house under construction belonging to one Jude Asuzu said to be residing in Lagos and the bungalow belonging to Patrick Okoye, said to be working in Awka, had one thing in common as nobody was residing in them at the time of the visit.

He said he decided to personally lead security agencies to seal the hotel and the houses to drive the message home to all those engaged in, or aiding and abetting kidnapping, that Anambra was no longer a safe place for them. He also gave an indication that the exercise would continue until the state was rid of kidnappers.

The owners of the houses were not available during the visit, but a security guard at the one-storey mansion, Mr. Barnabas Nasamu, who lives in the large compound with his wife and a child, said his boss had not returned home for the past three months. The parents of the owner of the house were also said to be residing in Enugu and had not come home for a long time.


A neighbour, who is a retired Railway staff and an uncle of the owner of the building, Chief Christian Obidike, who came into the compound on noticing the presence of the governor and security operatives, confirmed that kidnap suspects were arrested last year in the compound by a joint police and military team, but said that no such incident had repeated. According to him, one of the kidnap suspects was identified as a trader occupying a shop close to the compound.


At the bungalow at Obeagu village, also in Nri, a cousin of the owner of the house and a native doctor, Mr. Sunday Okoye said a nephew of the owner of the house; one Mr. Okwudili Okoye had been on the run since security operatives visited the house on the suspicion that he was involved in kidnapping. He, however, said that the owner of the house which was under lock when the governor visited, resides in Awka and returns to the village once in a while.

Obi said security reports confirmed that the two buildings were linked to the heinous crime of kidnapping and announced that they would henceforth remain sealed in line with the policy of the state government on kidnapping, which provided that any building used for the purpose of kidnapping would be sealed off and, if the allegation was proved, the affected house would be demolished.

We killed ex-Anambra dep gov ’cos his wife proved difficult — SUSPECTS

We killed ex-Anambra dep gov ’cos his wife proved difficult — SUSPECTS
BY ESTHER ONYEGBULA & KINGSLEY NDIMELE

LAGOS — The Lagos State Police Command, yesterday, paraded three suspected members of a notorious kidnap gang that killed former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chudi Nwike.



They were picked up in their den last year.



Nwike was kidnapped on March 19, 2013 and a N30 million ransom was demanded by his abductors who reportedly murdered him after taking N5 million as ransom.

Parading the suspects alongside four others, among whom were three Ibadan‑based alleged hired assassins, who confessed to have been given N140,000 as advance payment to eliminate a businessman in Lagos, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, said the arrest of the kidnap suspects followed the arrest of one Monday Odieto in Benin, Edo State, by the Divisional Police Officer in‑charge of Ikoyi, Aisha Haruna.

How they were nabbed

Manko explained that during interrogation, Odieto confessed to belong to a 30‑man kidnap gang operating in the South‑South and South‑East axis of the country and further confessed to have been involved in the kidnap of a Supreme Court judge’s wife, Justice Rhodes-Vivour, last year along the Lagos/Benin expressway.

His confessional statement, according to Manko, led to a manhunt for those indicted. He said the pursuit led to the arrest of Godspower Ovwigho, 31, and Stanley Efetobor, 29. He said they were arrested by operatives of the Special Anti‑ Robbery Sqaud.

Manko said: “After a long manhunt, one Godspower Ovwigho, was tracked and arrested at Ikorodu, Lagos State on April 23. He was identified by Monday Odieto as being a top ranking member of the gang. On April 24, one Stanley Efetobor, who is also a gang member, was also arrested by SARS.”

How suspects ambushed prisons officials , freed leader


During interrogation, the suspects, according to Manko, confessed to be among those who ambushed some prison officials in Okere, Warri, Delta State while their leader, simply identified as Rufus was being taken to court in March last year. Some prison officials were reportedly killed in the attack.

According to him, “Efetobor confessed to be a member of the gang that rescued one of their former gang leaders, one Rufus, at Okere raid in Warri, Delta State.

“He confessed that the raid was carried out when some prisons officials were taking him to court from prison yard in March, last year. The suspects confessed that several prisons officers lost their lives in that operation.

“He also confessed that their gang kidnapped the wife and daughter of Justice Rhodes-Vivour. The same gang kidnapped former Anambra deputy governor and demanded N30 million as ransom. Although they got N5 million from the family, they still killed the man and told the wife to use the remaining N25 million to bury her husband. But we are still continuing with our investigations.”

Why we killed former dep gov— Suspect


Godspower Ovwigho, 27, told a bewildered crowd that his gang killed the former deputy governor because his wife was heady.

According to him, “we killed the deputy governor because his wife tried to prove difficult. We demanded N30 million but they gave us only N5 million. After the payment, they promised to give us more but did not. It was Rufus that shot him dead when the wife refused to pay more. Rufus is our leader.

“We held him hostage in a three-bedroom flat in Kokori town, in Delta State. When the negotiators brought the money and Rufus discovered it was N5 million, he drove all of them away. He, thereafter, charged into the bedroom where the deputy governor was and told him that his wife was daring us.

“He called the victim’s wife on the phone and asked why the money was slashed. She told him that was all they were able to gather. Out of anger, he shot the former deputy governor four times and called his wife again on the phone and told her to use the balance to organise his burial.”

I got N40,000 out of the N5m

His alleged partner in crime, Stanley Efetobor, 29, lamented that his share of the N5 million was only N40,000.

Meanwhile, the three suspected hired assassins who left Ibadan for Lagos, to snuff life out of a businessman, one Victor Adelakun, disclosed that they were promised N140,000 after executing the job.

The suspects, according to Manko, were arrested in a night club on Allen Avenue by operatives of SARS on May 10, 2014 while strategising on how to get their target.

But the trio of Ibrahim Lawal (27), Emmanuel Adewale (25 ) and Yomi Olarewaju (25) claimed they intended kidnapping their victim.

Although in an earlier interrogation, they reportedly told the operatives that their mission was to assassinate their victim. But Ibrahim stated yesterday:


“We wanted to kidnap him. That was the instruction given to us. We were promised N300,000 if the deal succeeded. We were given N100,000 as advance fee

“We were just at the club waiting for the victim because we were told he usually drinkthere. While we were discussing how to get him, we did not know how the Police got

Is your own smartphone for decoration?
Must you be spoon-fed? Go and ask your Oshiomole for more lies.

Babablu Bulabu

Fight against Insecurity was one of Peter Obi’s biggest accomplishments in Anambra.

He was so tough on criminals that critics described him as being high handed on crime.

Today, after over 10 years out of office, states are trying to copy his model in Anambra to fight insecurity, but the will has to be there for it to work.

una no suppose reply some miscreants abeg

Kidnapping started from Anambra

Peter Obi will surely deal with bandits and Boko haram destroying our country, I trust him.

Since na throwback era we dey

Security is one of the foremost of Obis agenda even though he tries to play low-key on those kinda topics now that he's still campaigning...


No try obi for security o... The guy no get joy for criminals even one bit .. he is brutal as far as security is concerned...

A trial will convince you

Lmaooo there is nothing special about Obi.
You guys should rest about hero worshipping this failure fgs! 😅

There are far more stories about his failure in the area of insecurity in that tiny Anambra but as expected, you went to dig out one rear occasion. 😅

Nigeria has no future, that's the reason for what we see and what we hear.

PO is a great man. He will fix the country by God's grace

Na only Atlantic ocean. Teanupoo sabi control he no get strength to tackle insecurity.

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
PO is a great man. He will fix the country by God's grace

Obi will do one term and he will also turn Nigeria to Europe within 4 years.

What about the ezu masaccre where Obi ensured that over 70 youngs guys were massacred.

90 percent youths singing in this video are dead and declared missing.

In 2013, people woke up to meet bizarre sight of over 70 dead men floating in Ezu River anambra.

Peter Obi refused to face Endsarz panel, he obtained court injunction not be investigated for the killings!!…

Chudi Nwike was deputy to Ezeife and not Obi.

Again, Ratcock has answered your question

Obi is a desperate fraud

Igbo:
Kidnapping started from Anambra

Kidnapping started in the Niger delta, targeting expatriates in the oil and gas sector

chopnaira:
What about the ezu masaccre where Obi ensured that over 30 youngs guys were massacred.

Dont mind them!


They want to launder the dull guy image ni

You seem very sure of what you said. Can you provide a legitimate source of your assertion that Obi ensured that over 30 young guys were massacred?

Your Popsy killed the deputy....or who?

madridguy:

This was how the sitting governor and his people were attacking Alex Oti before he became the governor of Abia state few years ago.

We never knew they were afraid of what he was coming to do for the people....

In fact they raised up so many propaganda against Alex Oti but today the whole world is seeing that they were all criminals in government doing everything to deceive the People.


The same thing is happening to Peter Obi today in Nigeria.
