The Enugu State Government, on Saturday, demolished a building worth millions of naira in Amaebo Owelli, Awgu Local Government Area, allegedly used as a hideout for kidnappers.
The demolition was supervised by the Chairperson of the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, Uche Anya, as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to combat criminal activities in the state.
Mr. Anya explained that the property had been used to hold kidnap victims, citing a specific incident where a male victim was shown in a video with suspected kidnappers pointing multiple AK-47 rifles at him.
Following a security operation, arrests were made, though the kingpin initially escaped.
He was eventually apprehended in Lagos with the collaboration of the Enugu State Government and security agencies. Several arms and ammunition were recovered during the operation.
