Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has commended the Department of State Services (DSS) for successfully arresting five notorious kidnappers hiding in the forests of Enugu.
The operation, carried out on March 12, was based on intelligence that led security forces to two hideouts.
The suspects, known for a series of high-profile kidnappings in Udi Local Government Area and other parts of Enugu State, confessed to collecting large ransom payments from victims’ families.
Authorities recovered a significant sum of suspected ransom money, dangerous weapons, and other incriminating materials.
Governor Mbah praised the DSS, police, military, and Enugu State Forest Guards for their role in ensuring security.
