Udenwa indicts police over kidnappings
By VAL OKARA, Owerri
Friday July 16, 2004

 



The Imo State Police Command has come under severe attacks over its inability to nip in the bud the activities of Criminals particularly Child kidnappers in the State.
The State governor Chief Achike Udenwa who expressed his worry during an emergency meeting with leaders of thought in Owerri regretted that Police have not been able to arrest the syndicate even as government placed N5 million ransom for any person that could volunteer information that may lead to the arrest of the group.

Daily Sun reports that security operatives from the Force Headquarters were in the State combing every nook and cranny of the state effecting arrests such that at least 200 persons are cooling their feet in Police detention at the SCID.

Recounting the 1996 OTOKOTO riot, Udenwa stated that its attendant consequences have largely contributed to the economic woes of the states, as some potential investors relocated to other States."The scars of the riot hanged from 1996 to 1999 when we assumed duty in the State, Owerri the State capital and its environs were terribly devastated leading to relocation of business enterprises from Owerri with new ones not coming" he said.

The governor decried t the level of insecurity in the state, which has shattered the reputation of the state as the most peaceful in the Federation adding that he had intimated the President and the Inspector-General of Police over the issue, with the latter dispatching some security operatives to the State.
Pleading with the leaders, Udenwa stated "as leaders in the society you should remember that evil thrives where good men do nothing. Let us not allow evil to rule us. Please contribute for all to get this behind us."
Present at the meeting were the State Police boss, Mr. Hezekiah Dimka, his SSS counterpart, the Brigade Commander, former minister for Establishment, Chief I.D. Nwoga and Heads of higher Institutions among others.
