The Abia State Government has demolished a building belonging to one
Ogbonna Daniel Ogbuonye following his alleged involvement in
kidnappings.
Ogbuonye, the suspected leader of the kidnap gang that abducted the
Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers, Chief Sunny
Nwakodo, was killed last Sunday morning during a shootout with
security operatives who later rescued the victim unhurt.
The slain culprit was also alleged to be the mastermind behind the
killing penultimate week of the late Commissioner for Agriculture,
Dr. Ken Nwosu, who died later in a hospital as a result of gunshot wounds.
Two other members of the gang were also killed during the gun duel
which took place in a bush at Ikwuano.
The demolished bungalow was located at Umuariaga in Ikwuano Local
Government Area of the state.
This came a few months after another house at Afaraukwu belonging to a
suspected kidnapper was also demolished by the state government.
Addressing journalists after the demolition, Security Adviser to
Governor Theodore Orji, and chairman on Task Force, Capt. Awa Udonsi
Agwu (rtd.), said the measure was to serve as a deterrent to other
suspected kidnappers and those nursing the idea to enter the illicit
business.
He said the government abhorred kidnapping and would stop at nothing
to stamp the menace out of the state.
