Security Operatives Arrest Kidnap Kingpin In Cross River
A new security outfit inaugurated by the Governor of Cross River State, Prof Ben Ayade, Operation Akpakwu, has arrested a suspected kidnapper, Etim Bassey, and members of his gang. It was gathered that Bassey and his gang were nabbed on Tuesday in Calabar South following an intelligence report. The same day, another set of suspected kidnappers were also arrested by the team around the Mary Slessor Roundabout. It was learnt that the kidnappers, who were in a vehicle, abducted a middle aged man waiting for a cab by the roadside and drove off with the victim. However, the Operation Akpakwu patrol team stationed nearby gave the kidnappers a chase and arrested them. Ayade had declared total war on kidnappers and other criminals in the state while inaugurating the outfit last week Thursday.
