He said the raid operation was as a result of a sustained surveillance on the activities of the notorious kingpin and his syndicate

According to the statement, “The first phase of the operations was conducted on May 12, during the operations, troops raided the criminals hideout, but on sighting the troops the criminals abandoned their hideout and fled.

“The gallant troops rescued the kidnapped victims and arrested two collaborators of the criminal kingpin while the shrine, hideout and assorted charms were set ablaze by the troops.”

He said further investigation revealed that the criminal gang was terrorising the locals, kidnapping, killing and burying their victims, who do not do their biddings in shallow graves.

He therefore appealed to residents of the community to return to their homes and continue their businesses as the security agencies would be on surveillance to ensure peace in the community.
