He explained that the robbers go to banks and plant nails close by customers’ cars so that when they are done with their transactions the tyre of their vehicles picks the nail after one to two poles it gets flat they will robb you of your money and other valuables.
In their confessionary statement they admitted to have robbed people over three hundred million naira within the period they have operated in the state adding they are from Imo state. “and if you see how robust they are you will never believe they are into robbery
Nwenyi also informed that his office has recovered over eight new motorcycles from another gang whose activities centered on snatching of motorcycles from okada riders in the state.
He added that the synergy his office was enjoying with other security agencies are one of the driving force his office was leveraging at ensuring the people of the state go to bed with their two eyes closed.
“Well there is nothing like magic. We are security agents and we make use of the slogan “if you fail to play,you plan to fail” We started very much earlier and it is the teren we know very well, that is why you see the rate of crime reducing instead of increasing, even at the peak of the Mass return it continues dropp drastically because we planned ahead”
“You have been following our security system for a while, you can see that. October November there has been a tactical system on how to get these hoodlums that commit one crime or the other arrested.We actually work hard to mak sure drugs intake in the state reduced drastically. We took time to making sure the drugs intake among other social viceses was reduced to a barest minimum. like within this December; we apprehend these crimes who specializes on motorcycles snatching. We recovered about eight motorcycles from them. Most of the owners came to our office to claim theirs, though, the state is a baby state the size is not much. We know every one that are involved in crime in the state. It takes us a little time to get all of them”
“We worked hard to make sure that those who returned for the festivities celebrated in peace and not involence, and we actually got some facts. The Youths submit organized by FON Youths Movement “Ebonyi 2024 Youths submit”, where forty thousand Youths came together to hear from experts on how to avert crimes among other things they learnt”
“These Youths were thought not to drink while driving, not to engaged in drug abuse and other related criminal activities. The sensitization went far in reshaping the society. They also learnt on how to stay off crime. During the program the police were there to handle them on some of the issues that have to do with avoidance of crime Drog agents came there to take them on the effects of hard drugs, Road safety Corp marshals were also there to take them on the negative effects of reckless driving on the road”
“Other professionals were also invited to take them on how to become useful in life. So these measures actually contributed to the successes we recorded within the yuletides, of course the submit is going to be an annual event. It’s going to be an annual event and it’s going to be bigger than it were last year. Why you see all the ministries delivering in its mandate is because of his Excellency’s doggedness. He is a very hard working person. All that occupies his sense of reasoning is how to give Ebonyi people the best. And I believe if he continues this way, in the next two years Ebonyi will be another state to recon with”
” Ebonyi will be the best state of our dream. I know he has a very good concept for the Ebonyians.he meant well and Ebonyians have started ripping the dividends. Actually those kudos or compliments we receive from people belongings to the governor. In many areas we have worked and achieved results, it was because of his assistance. Without all these street lights and Ijeoma patrol team you are seeing, it wouldn’t have been easy for us to achieve. So, if you go to other ministries you will see commissioners working hard to meet up with the target of the governor. It’s no longer when you are given an appointment you Ghost it and work from your house. He supervises from an inch to an inch. All we do in the ministries and MDAs are all his brain child”
“Well, it is the power of information. When you are not informed you may not know how we work. In the case you are sighting as an instance in Ezza South it was different from cult killings. we actually waded into it but we realized that it was as a result of community leadership tussle we disembarked that was what happened. its not cult related matters.we have been working seriously to make sure cult killings among other crimes is reduced in the state”
“We are doing our best to make sure cult killings are reduced in toto in the state especially the urban areas you can bear me witness. Though we learnt their activities have been shifted to the villages, but we have decided to shift the fight against Cult activities to the remote areas. So, we will match them whenever we see them. The way we are trying to reduce burglary and related crimes is also the way we are succeeding in other areas. We are not leaving any Stone unturned”
“Our duty is to protect lives and properties, anywhere anytime. The synergy we enjoy with other sister security agencies is superb. Just about five days ago we paraded notorious criminals that specializes in robbing people from the bank. They thrill you wherever you park your vehicle, they have a special key that they can use and open any vehicle and remove the money no matter the amount.and other valuables.There is the way they construct nails; they go to banks put the nails under your vehicle once you are done with your tractions start your vehicle you pick the nails after one or two poles your tyre gets flat they’re already running after you once you step aside to look for repairer they will open the door and remove the money”
“That is the way they operate.We arrested them and handed them over to the police. Within the hours they were here before the police came to pick them I knew the number of calls I received from people. A good number of them even trooped to our
Office here”
“They confirmed to have robbed people over three hundred millions of naira and regrettably, they are from Imo state and if you see how robust they are you will never believe they’re into robbery. So, we are enjoying perfect synergy with other security agencies in the state especially the police”
