The remains were discovered by units including Violent Crime Response, Anti-Kidnapping, Anti-Cultism, Intelligence Response, Isuochi Divisional Police Station, and Rapid Response Squads.
The operation was part of a state-wide initiative led by Police Commissioner CP Wilfred Afolabi, dubbed "Operation No Hideout for Criminal Elements in the State." Upon arrival, suspects fled, and criminal camps were dismantled. Investigation is ongoing, and efforts are underway to apprehend the fleeing suspects. The Commissioner reiterates the commitment to keeping Abia a non-hiding place for criminals. The public is urged to report security concerns to local police stations.
