Imo Police Uncover Underground 8 Bedroom Kidnappers Hideout

The Imo State Police Command,assisted by some vigilante locals, have
discovered a kidnapper's underground8 bedroomden in a deserted
building.
The hideout, located in Umuchima Village, Okwu Autonomous Community in
Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, is used by suspected
kidnappers to harbour their victims.
The State Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, while parading the
suspects, disclosed that the underground hideout, with 8 bedroom, was
discovered through intelligence network and collaboration of the
vigilante men.
He also noted that "it took the police over 3 hours from Owerri, the
state capital, through the thick bush and untarred road to get to the
kidnappers' den.
The villagers, who spoke to newsmen, said they were neither aware of
the underground den nor the nefarious activities that were carried out
in the compound until a kidnapped victim who escaped from the dungeon
in the middle of the night narrated his ordeal.
They said the statue in front of the building was that of the owner of
the building, one Mr Simeon Mpieri, who died 24 years ago.
The police boss further hinted that the buildings will immediately be
confiscated and demolished. He vowed that the command will stop at
nothing until Imo state is free of kidnapers.
A month ago, the state government had given directives that all
abandoned property or uncompleted would be taken over by the
government, so that such places are not turned into an operational
base for criminals.
