The Enugu State Police Command has apprehended 14 suspects involved in kidnapping operations within and outside the state. During a briefing at the Command's headquarters in Enugu, Commissioner of Police, Mamman Bitrus Giwa, revealed that some of the suspects were two remaining individuals linked to the kidnapping of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Affa, Udi LGA, who fled to Port Harcourt following pressure from joint security forces.
The command's Anti-Kidnapping Violent Crime Response Unit (AK-VCRU) carried out intelligence-led operations, leading to the arrest of two additional suspects connected to the Affa Church incident. Subsequent investigations uncovered that, after fleeing Enugu, the suspects reunited with their associates in Port Harcourt and abducted another victim, who was released after a ransom of N5 million was paid.
