The Onitsha Ado Youth Forum (OAYF) has decried the escape of two notorious kidnappers who escaped from SARS/RRS AWKUZU custody during one of their operations at Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Mr Ginika Odua, president, speaking during the Youth Forum’s Press Conference in reaction to the development, said the escape of the two dreaded kidnappers called for the total overhaul of the entire Anambra State Police Command, especially the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Awkuzu, Oyi Local Government Area of the State.
He asked the Inspector General of Police (IG) , Mr. Kayode Egbetokun , to sanction those who “are responsible and liable for the escape”.
Odua demanded for the immediate rearrest of the fleeing kidnapers, failure of which the group threatened to stage a five million-man protest match which would shake the very foundation of the state.
“This singular action portend grave danger to the security of the State in view of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision to fight crime and criminality with vigour” he said
Also speaking at the Press Conference, the secretary,Mike Idika Ononenyi, said there is need for an urgent surgical operation for RRS officers in Awkuzu Anambra State because of serious endemic corruption going on at the facility” said Onitsha Youth group.
He challenged the Anambra State Police Command not to play ostrich in this sensitive matter but should come out and tell the people of the State what actually happened.
Ononenyi said that all those officers involved should be made to face disciplinary action and should be demoted because they are not aiding criminals but putting the lives of security men in serious danger.
He lamented that the current efforts by the Governor to reduce and checkmate crime and criminality in the state are being sabotaged by some disgruntled officers in RRS Awkuzu by their in ordinate quest to make money at all cost.
The secretary argued if the officers were not prepared for the operation,why did they engage in it when they don’t have enough man power? OAYF questioned
