Anambra governor Willie Obiano has revoked the Certificates of Occupancy of a church located in Awkuzu, Oyi LGA, so as of 3 other buildings over their connection with kidnappers.
According to Punch, this move and further demolition followed the today’s parade of 15 kidnappers and robbers at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters.
Police official Olafimiham Adeoye revealed that one of the suspects allegedly participated in kidnapping of many rich people, including a priest.
“Nwaezeagu engaged in kidnapping unnoticed until he was caught in 2013. His confessional statements led to the unraveling of his gang before Gov. Obiano revoked his certificate of occupancy leading to the demolition of his church.”
Out of 15 suspects, 10 were reportedly kidnappers and 5 others – armed robbers.
Anambra State PPRO Emeka Chukwuemeka added that police had seized from the alleged criminals one rocket launcher, a rocket, 50 AK 47 magazines and 300 rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition, among others.
