The Imo Police Command has paraded more than seventy suspects allegedly behind the recent waves of criminalities across the state.
The state’s Police Commissioner Rabiu Lado while parading the suspects in Owerri said they were arrested at different points within the state and beyond in six weeks.
He explained that the clampdown on criminals in the state is in line with the “Operation Puff Adder” launched by the Inspector General of Police, which he said was still ongoing.
According to Lado, twenty two kidnap victims were rescued, while eleven stolen vehicles were recovered. He added that among those paraded were members of a notorious kidnap syndicate that specialised in the abduction of minors.
The Commissioner said the police is on the trail of other fleeing members of the gang; while efforts are on to recover the abducted children.
