Anambra State Records Major Breakthrough Against Kidnapping as Soludo’s ‘Operation Udo Ga-Achi’ Targets Criminal Hideouts

In a bold move to curb violent crime, Anambra State's security operatives, under the banner of Operation Udo Ga-Achi, have dismantled a notorious kidnapper’s den masquerading as a hotel. The establishment, Udoka Golden Point Hotel and Suites, also known as “La Cruise Hotel,” located along the Onitsha-Owerri Road in Oba, was demolished after a shocking discovery of over 30 partitioned graves and a shrine within its premises.

This revelation comes as part of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s renewed efforts to address the surge in kidnappings and violent crime through strategic security initiatives. The Operation Udo Ga-Achi task force, coupled with the recently implemented Homeland Security Law, has been instrumental in uncovering criminal activities disguised as legitimate businesses.

Speaking on the development, Chief Ken Emeakayi, Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, stated: “Illicit establishments often present themselves as legitimate businesses, allowing criminal activities to flourish while evading detection. This operation demonstrates our zero-tolerance approach toward crime.”

The existence of graves and a shrine at the site has raised concerns about potential ritualistic practices and the extent of organized crime networks operating in the area. The grim discovery has left the community both relieved by the government’s swift action and horrified by the scale of atrocities hidden in plain sight.

Governor Soludo’s administration has made security a top priority, with Operation Udo Ga-Achi delivering visible results. The demolition of the hotel underscores the government’s commitment to dismantling criminal syndicates and restoring public safety in the state.

While this breakthrough has been commended, it has also prompted questions about how such a sinister operation was able to thrive undetected for so long. Residents have expressed both gratitude for the decisive action taken and concern about other potential criminal hideouts yet to be uncovered.

The demolition of the Udoka Golden Point Hotel marks a significant victory in the fight against violent crime in Anambra State. As the government intensifies its crackdown on criminal enterprises, citizens are encouraged to cooperate with security forces in ensuring the safety and peace of the region.
