In a dramatic turn of events, members of the Agunechemba Security Group in Anambra State have successfully apprehended a group of suspected kidnappers who disguised themselves as cattle sellers. The suspects were nabbed while attempting to kidnap a local cow meat seller, identified as Chikamso, in the Agu Odumodu Umunya community.
According to reports, the gang lured Chikamso into a bush under the pretense of selling cattle. However, upon his arrival, the unsuspecting victim walked into an ambush, where the suspects, armed with AK-47 rifles, attempted to seize him.
Demonstrating quick thinking, Chikamso managed to escape the attackers’ grasp and fled to safety. He immediately contacted the Agunechemba Security Group, who swiftly mobilized and stormed the scene.
One of the security operatives recounted the intense encounter in Igbo:
“These are Fulani cattle rearers we caught in the bush. They lured a meat seller named Chikamso to check their cattle. When he arrived, they ambushed him with weapons, but thankfully, he escaped and alerted us.”
He continued, “We responded quickly, but they opened fire on us during the operation. Despite the gunfire, we overpowered them and arrested three suspects.”
The suspects are currently in custody, and investigations are underway to determine the full extent of their criminal network.
This incident highlights the bravery and efficiency of the Agunechemba Security Group, who acted swiftly to protect the community and prevent further harm.
