The police in Enugu State have arrested seven
suspects accused of raping a Reverend Sister, in
addition to the kidnap of over 10 Rev. Fathers,
pastors, politicians and passengers.
The suspects were arrested at Ugwuaji forest,
Enugu State by men of the state police anti-
kidnapping squad after abducting several victims
along Enugu/Port Harcourt road.
The men of the underworld were also said to
operate a camp in Akwuke forest where they keep

“Based on several petitions on the activities of the
suspects, I have to order the commander anti-
kidnapping squad, Supol Alex Akinlalu who led his
men to round up the kidnappers on March 19, at
the Ugwuaji forest.
One of the suspects, Haruna Ibrahim told Sat­
urday Sun: “We have two groups in Enugu State.
We only collect ransom from the family of our
victims, we don’t kill people.”

him. Also, we kidnapped a pastor at Obiorre Udi

Owu group took a bus passenger into Ugwuaji
forest and collected N200,000 from him before we
released him.”
