ABA ¡ª TWENTY suspected criminals are now in detention in Aba
following a raid, yesterday, by the Police from Ariaria Division
of the city on two Indian hemp spots said to be haven for
notorious criminals within Ariaria International Market.
The arrest came barely one week after the Police from the Area
Command in Aba raided a hotel which allegedly serves as
criminals hide-out in the city centre where no fewer than 20
suspected criminals were apprehended.
The spots identified as ¡®Black Kingdom¡¯ at Samek by Old
express road and ¡®Snow White¡¯ at Bakassi were all located near
Ariaria International Market.
It was gathered that before the police raid, ¡®Black kingdom¡¯
was one of the areas where drug addicts in the city relocated
after they were dislodged by the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA, from their former location at ¡®York¡¯ at Park
road.
It was further gathered that most criminals who operated within
the commercial city usually gather at the two locations not only
to smoke, but also to hatch plans on how to unleash terror on
residents.
The operation was carried out in conjunction with policemen
mobilised from other divisions in the Aba Area Command which led
to the arrest of 20 suspects allegedto be members of robbery
gangs which have been terrorizing the city of late .
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Geoffrey
Ogbonna described the raid as a proactive measure taken by the
Police Command in the state to ensure that the state was free
from all forms of criminality.
¡°We are raiding hideouts in a bid to ensure the society is
being ridden off crimes and criminality because we know that
those hideouts are possible places whereall the hoodlums hide
and from there, they go about to perpetrate their evil acts. So,
police raiding hideouts is not out of place.
¡°It is a proactive measure adopted by the command in order to
ensure that the state is free from crime and criminality,
especially in Aba.
¡°If in the course of interrogation one is found culpable or
cannot give an accurate account of him or herself, definitely,
that person will be prosecuted if linked up with any crime.
while those that can established their personality will
bereleased.
Ogbonna however, urged the public to report promptly to the
police any place(s) suspected to be hideout(s) for criminals,
stressing that the police in the state has a zero tolerance for
criminal activities in whatever disguise.
