The Imo State Police Command, sequel to a series of complaints of kidnapping incidents in Irete and other communities in Owerri West LGA, have conducted an operation at a forest, leading to the arrest of four suspected kidnappers.

The operation, according to the command’s spokesperson, DSP Henry Okoye, is part of ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminal elements who are responsible for the recent surge in abductions and other violent crimes in the area.

He further stated that the apprehension of the suspects was made successful based on credible intelligence, which the operatives acted upon by besieging the hideout of the criminals in a forest within the Irete axis.

Okoye revealed that the operation led to the apprehension of four suspects, Sulieman Ahmed (26), Mohammed Salisu (31), and Gambo Jefta (26), all from Jigawa State, and Gabriel Ogbuzuru from Ebonyi State.

The command’s spokesperson added that upon searching the suspects and their hideout, three fabricated guns with six rounds of live cartridges, and three matchete were recovered.

He further revealed that the suspects are currently in custody and will face prosecution.

“Following this achievement, the Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma led further combing operations on 3rd March 2025 to apprehend additional fleeing suspects.

“CP Aboki Danjuma has also intensified security measures, including confidence-building patrols and collaboration with local vigilantes, to enhance peace and security in the region. He assures the public of the Command’s commitment to dismantling all criminal networks and maintaining a safer Imo State.”

Okoye added that the police command is using the medium to call on the public to remain vigilant and law-abiding as security operations continue across the state.

“Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious movements or criminal activities to the nearest police station or via Command’s emergency hotlines 0803 477 3600, 08148024755. Together, we can build a safer and prosperous Imo State,” he stated.

The suspect who was arraigned before Magistrate R.I. Adelakin, on Tuesday, March 12, 2025, suddenly put up a strange behaviour in court by refusing to alter any word and looking weird.

The defendant, who was just dramatising, turned his back to the court and ran outside displaying full madness.

He removed his clothes and str!pped himself nak3d, as he began to eat dried leaves and nylons.

The suspect’s strange display caught the attention of people present at the court premises, though nobody could move closer to him, including his mother.

The suspect, whose address was not given, was charged to court by the police on a single charge of threat to life.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari of enabling unprecedented levels of corruption, specifically criticizing the presidential pardons granted to ex-governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, both convicted of embezzlement.

Obasanjo alleged that former Attorney General Abubakar Malami played a key role in these pardons, suggesting that the process was influenced by corruption.

In response, Malami dismissed these claims, stating that the pardon process is governed by a designated committee responsible for such decisions, and his role was limited to presenting the committee’s report to the Council of State.

Malami emphasized that allegations of corruption should be substantiated with specific evidence, criticizing the trend of baseless accusations against public officials.

The Federal Government also refuted Obasanjo’s criticisms, defending the Buhari administration’s record on anti-corruption efforts and infrastructure projects.
