The Enugu State Government has demolished another property connected to kidnapping activities in the state


The action, which took place in Amaebo Owelli Autonomous Community, Awgu Local Government Area, is part of the government’s ongoing crackdown on properties linked to criminal activities.

The mansion was reportedly used as a hideout for kidnappers to hold their victims.

According to reports the property in question had been a den for kidnappers, where victims were tortured and ransomed. Notably, a kidnapping incident from May 2024, where a male victim was filmed with AK-47 rifles pointed at his head, occurred within the same building.

With that the, security agencies were able to track down the property, rescue the victim, arrest most of the kidnappers, and recover a cache of arms and ammunition.

But who owns the property, or is it one of those abandoned properties we have all around us. It's very common for thugs to use these places as hideouts or headquarters.

The investigation is still ongoing to uncover the owner but they did what they knew would be best first by demolishing the mansion to first thwart their activities

That's a good move though, I won't be surprised if the owner is someone innocent and does not even know what they are using his building for.
