The government’s action was widely reported, with many praising the efforts to combat crime in the region.

The statement read, “Oba, Idamili South LGA! Demolition of kidnappers’ den disguised as Udoka Golden Point Hotel and Suites, aka ‘La Cruise Hotel’, along Onitsha-Owerri Road. The hotel has well-partitioned graves of over 30 on the last floor with a shrine!!”

The demolition of the kidnappers’ den is a major breakthrough in the efforts to combat crime in Anambra State.

Insecurity problem in Anambra

The recent insecurity problem in Anambra State is a pressing concern. According to reports, the state has witnessed a surge in kidnapping and killings, with even clerics and reverend sisters being targeted.

The situation is so dire that many residents have abandoned their homes and are operating from neighboring states.

The insecurity has also had a significant impact on the state’s economy, with many businesses forced to close due to the constant threat of attack.

Farmers have also been unable to access their farms, leading to food shortages and increased prices.

The state’s roads have become increasingly treacherous, with reports of armed robbers and kidnappers terrorizing travelers.

The insecurity has also led to a breakdown in social services, with hospitals and schools forced to close due to the constant threat of attack.

Governor Charles Soludo has launched a new security program aimed at addressing the issue.

The program, ‘Operation Udo Ga Achi’, is a comprehensive security initiative designed to restore peace and order in the state.

The operation is a collaborative effort between the state government, security agencies, and local communities.

It involves the deployment of security personnel to troubled areas, as well as the establishment of a system for reporting and responding to security incidents.

The operation also includes a component focused on community engagement and sensitization, aimed at promoting peace and stability in the state.

Additionally, the state government has established a reward system for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of criminals.

The overall goal of ‘Operation Udo Ga Achi‘ is to create a safe and secure environment for citizens to live and conduct their businesses.
