News Band reports that governor Soludo had repeatedly warned that there is no space for criminalities in Anambra State.
The Governor on assumption of office within a short period of time successfully reduced kidnapping and other criminal activities in the State to the barest minimum.
Based on this success, Soludo has received continuous commendations from Ndi Anambra for reclaiming the State from the strong grip of deadly criminals who have now turned criminalities into a profitable enterprise
Meanwhile those arrested are currently cooling off in detention. They are helping the security agencies in their investigation to unravel the whereabout of other kidnappers who are on the run.
After successfully neutralizing the kidnappers, the security operatives recovered a Lexus Jeep and some sophisticated weapons including charms tied around their waists.
Anambra vigilante group in conjunction with the police, following the charge from governor Soludo, have also warned that criminals operating in those axis of Nkpor-Umuoji-Ideani should desist henceforth or be ready to meet their watetrloo from the security forces who have taken over the axis to protect and safeguard the citizens
