Police Dismantle Suspected Kidnapping and Organ Trafficking Syndicate in Imo
Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have successfully dismantled a suspected kidnapping and organ trafficking syndicate in the Douglass area of the state.
According to the police spokesperson, ASP Henry Okoye, a 38-year-old suspect, Justine Emmanuel, was arrested during the operation, while a 19-year-old woman was rescued.
The operation unfolded when vigilant officers on patrol noticed a suspicious blue and white bus forcefully transporting the young woman to an undisclosed location.
The police gave chase, and the victim bravely jumped from the moving vehicle, leading to her rescue.
The bus was later abandoned, and one suspect was apprehended, while other members of the syndicate fled into nearby bushes.
ASP Okoye confirmed that investigations are underway to identify and apprehend the remaining suspects.
He emphasized the Imo State Police Command’s commitment to combating violent crime and called on the public to report any suspicious activities. Further updates on the case will be provided as the investigation progresses.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
