WARRI - A Pastor, Head of Delta state Police Anti-Kidnapping Squad
and his men are now answering questions at the force headquarters, Abuja
over their alleged involvement in resurgence of Kidnapping in the oil
rich city of Warri, Delta state.
Addressing newsmen in Warri, Delta state yesterday
after the state security meeting, the state governor, Dr. Emmanuel
Uduaghan disclosed that he was shocked that a man of God was among those arrested in connection with the recent upsurge of kidnapping in the state.
The head of the Anti-Kidnapping squad whose name was
given as Dickson Adeyemi, (CSP) popularly called ‘chairman’ and his
squad boys was said to have been arrested by men from the force
headquarters from Abuja after one of the criminals confessed their
involvement in the spate of kidnappings.
He has since been taken to Abuja as investigation begins on his complicity in the crime.
Governor Uduaghan while calling on the people on the
need to be vigilant and report to the police any suspected movement of
persons or vehicle, also disclosed that from information available to
him that most of the kidnappings are carried out with the help of
‘insiders’ who are most times closer to the person being kidnapped.
He also spoke of the involvement of communities
members where most of these hoodlums either hid their victims or plan
how to attack a particular spot saying that, that is “why in today’s
meeting I have invited some community elders on the need to rid their
community of these criminals.”
Governor Uduaghan disclosed that a lot of arrest
had been made since the police and the army began their clampdown,
saying that so far about 98 suspects including some motorcyclists
popularly called ‘okada’, have been nabbed.
