The Anambra State Police Command has cracked down on a kidnappers’ hideout in Umuduru, Ihiala Local Government Area.
The raid successfully disrupted their criminal activities.
According to the command, a joint team of police, military, and vigilantes carried out the operation, which resulted in the safe rescue of a kidnapped victim.
On Tuesday, the command spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, released a press statement revealing this information.
Ikenga stated that the achievement was accomplished following the arrest of a suspect (name withheld) a few weeks ago and his confession to being a member of a criminal/notorious kidnapping group terrorising the state, particularly in Ihiala.
