“The hidden tunnel was discovered as the state government led by Governor Alex Otti, deployed earth-moving equipment to clear the area after the criminal cartel succumbed to the superior firepower of the government-backed Operation Crush.
“We will not surrender an inch of our territory to criminals,” Ekeoma stated.
During the launch of the Abia State Joint Security Task Force (Operation Crush), Otti ordered security agencies to ensure that all criminals, especially kidnappers making life hellish for the people were brought to justice and their criminal infrastructure and architecture destroyed.
