Over 30 Suspected Kidnappers Killed In Enugu

Operatives of the Nigeria Police in Enugu have gunned down at least 30 kidnappers, including members of the Biafra Auto Pilot, also known as Unknown Gunmen, a notorious breakaway faction of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) loyal to the Finland-based, Simon Ekpa, which terrorized Enugu and its environs
A police detective disclosed that they were killed during a gun duel with security operatives at various locations across the state in the past two weeks.
This was contained in a statement by Governor Peter Mbah’s media office which quoted a Police Superintendent, SP Onochie Ezeh, who led a joint security operation to rescue some kidnapped victims at Ugwuogo Nike-Opi Road in the early hours of Wednesday.

The operation led to the killing of a seven-man gang kidnapper at Ogbeke Nike where the kidnappers used a large poultry farm to hide their hostages.
According to the police chief, Wednesday’s successful operation was part of the sustained operations in the state to flush out criminals operating from other neighboring states, including kidnappers, unknown gunmen, and other unscrupulous elements.
“We have been on the trail of these kidnappers for more than three months now. They had been operating within this axis where they kidnapped their victims and kept them at a large poultry farm at Ogbeke Nike until ransoms were paid.
“So, on a tipoff from members of the public who suspected the strange movements in the area and the accounts of some of the victims of these criminals, we swung into action. On sighting us, these men of the underworld opened fire on my men, and we quickly retaliated and overpowered them with our superior firepower,” he stressed.

SP Ezeh further revealed that the combined security task force, set up by the Enugu State governor, Mr Peter Mbah, as a tactical squad against kidnappings and activities of unknown gunmen, had recorded milestones in policing the state and flushing out criminal elements.
“This is a gallant crack squad with the mandate to eliminate every form of threat in the state. We have recorded huge successes over the past months.
“You know our role is not to rush to the media to tell our story but to ensure that every citizen and resident of the state has peace.
“I can tell you that we have already neutralized over 7 criminal gangs who were mostly kidnappers and unknown gunmen. We are going after them. We are taking the battle to their doorsteps because the governor said we should not come back home if we don’t completely rid the state of threats,” he said.

The victim said when he went to bed the same night, his wife joined him and that later around 02:00 hours, she started talking on phone with a man.
Maxwell heard her asking the man to escort her to a place called Nalusanga, where she planned to get some cattle.
He said in rage, he grabbed the mobile phone from his partner, whom he questioned for phoning another man, especially in his presence and in his house.

Wife Divorces Husband Due To Lack Of Money

An Area Court at Centre-Igboro in Ilorin, Kwara State, has dissolved the marriage between a man, Toyin Ajibola, and his wife, Bashirat Mohammed, on the grounds of lack of money.
The presiding judge, Hammad Ajumonbi, while delivering ruling, said that even though Toyin did not want to release his wife, she still needed to move so as not to be stranded.
He, therefore, dissolved their union and granted custody of the three children produced by their marriage to the wife.

The court also ordered the woman to observe the three-month iddah (waiting) period before contracting another marriage.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ajumonbi ordered Toyin to be responsible for the feeding of their children.
“He should have unrestricted access to the children and the mother should always make the children available any time their father requested,” the judge said.
Earlier, Bashirat had applied for divorce saying she was tired of their marriage due to lack of money and her husband’s irresponsibility.

“It is so painful that I can’t get money to visit her and the children when they left home,” he said.
