Operatives of Nsukka Neighborhood Watch in conjunction with other security agencies have arrested two suspected kidnappers along the dreaded Enugu-Ugwogo-Opi expressway.
The Chief Press Secretary to Nsukka Local Government, Ejike Okpe, made this known in a statement.
According to Okpe, the arrest was due to concerted efforts by the local government Chairman, Walter Ozioko, to ensure that security is restored to the troubled area.
He said that, “the combined forces of Nsukka LGA Neighbourhood Watch, Nsukka LGA Rapid Response Squad and their Forests Guards counterparts, today, Sunday, the 2nd of July, 2023, arrested two suspected kidnappers.
“The suspects who have been handed over to the police are currently co-operating with the men of law.
“It is believed that through them, their accomplices, cohorts and gang members would be tracked down.
Since the upsurge of cases of kidnap along Opi-Ugwogo Road, the people’s Mayor has not rested one bit. And today, results of his and his team’s hard work have begun to manifest.
“Believing that security of lives and property is about the chief essence of governance, the Mayor has vowed to rid, not just Opi-Ugwogo Road but the entirety of Nsukka LGA, of kidnapping and other heinous vice,” he said.
When contacted, the Police Spokesman in Enugu, Daniel Ndukwe promised to get back to the reporter. He was yet to do so as at the time of filing this report.
