Police operatives in Enugu State have rescued a 13-year-old girl from suspected kidnappers in Umuojor village, Ishiagu community, Ezeagu Local Government Area.
The operation was carried out by the Enugu State Police Command in collaboration with Neighbourhood Watch personnel and vigilant residents. According to the police spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the case. They are Uche Kingsley Agumba, 33; Ilo Nweze Onyedikachi, 36; and Ejike Odinwankpa, 38.
However, the main suspect, identified as Levi Onyeka Obu, also known as “Ezeani” and “E-Dey-Play-E-Dey-Show,” reportedly escaped. He is said to be a traditional healer and a well-known member of the community.
During the rescue operation, the police discovered two decomposing bodies, one male and one female, buried in a sealed pit inside an unfinished building belonging to the fleeing suspect. Investigations suggest the building was used for criminal activities.
In response to the findings, the state government has demolished the property in accordance with its laws.
Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Giwa, praised the efforts of the officers, local security groups, and residents for their cooperation. He also directed the command’s tactical and intelligence units to intensify efforts to locate and arrest the main suspect and any other individuals involved in the case.
