Elias Igboayaka Dikeigbo, alleged kidnapping kingpin in Orlu has been arrested Saturday by the police in the area.

This followed a tip-off to the local Vigilante group of his Umuna community who earlier arrested some of his gang who at interrogations, named Elias as their leader.

Elias has been moved from the Orlu Division of the Nigeria Police to the Police Anti Kidnapping Unit of the state’s Command, Owerri last yesterday’s evening.

Elias who serves as the Community Youth leader of his town has been named in several criminal activities in Orlu and its environs, and has been on the Police wanted list over series of armed robbery operations, including a recent kidnapping and diversion of a stock fish loaded truck. He later went underground during which his wife and some Kinsmen were arrested and taken to Awka in Anambra state.

Elias Igboayaka who has no visible business is said to have acquired properties suspected to be through proceeds from suspicious illegal and criminal businesses.

It is said that almost everybody in the area was aware of Elias’ dubious lifestyle, including his family and traditional Rulers, but wers afraid to speak out for fear of their lives.

Upon arrest of his boys, confessions were freely made naming Elias as their leader. Police source said the suspects would be further quizzed by the anti kidnapping department of the Police in Owerri to ascertain their level of involvements in criminal activities happening in the area, especially kidnappings.

People of Orlu who spoke to this reporter said stories of missing children in Orlu have become reoccurring feature, even as series of kidnapping incidents in the town have become a weekly thing.

Some of the people spoken to were seen jubilating and appreciating both the Vigilante and the police for a job well done, even as they appealed to authorities not to release the suspect back to society as has been the case in his several arrests in the past.

Efforts made to reach the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Imo Police Command, Mr. Henry Okoye proved abortive as his line was unavailable apparently due to network challenges by the telecommunications company.

Dikeigbo was the SA on Motor parks, Orlu zone to the immediate past Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha.

Nice one. Let the police keep fishing them out one by one. Kidnapping in Orlu is on the rise and the media isn't talking about it. IPOB activities has overshadowed kidnapping in Orlu.

He and his accomplices should be duly punished.

I am surprised that IPOB is not mentioned in the news. Let us see if bigots can comment on this thread without dragging IPOB and Obi.

Many drug dealers, kidnappers, and robbers in Nigeria end up becoming political leaders and aides. May the Almighty God save this country from the very evil leaders we have.

Transport union needs reformation,that's how Auxiliary was a terror in Ibadan before Seyi clipped his wings.

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

My brothers and sisters can you just imagine? So this is the face of the criminal causing mayhem in that state. Evil Emaka, show me your friend and I will tell you who you are

Crazy! These are the real unknown gunmen.

Criminals everywhere

Are you sure that's not princeoflagos, the guy has been posting his picture running errant for Ohedioha lately

this 1 nah politics game

Heading is misleading

This is one of the billionaires that are buying properties in Lagos. They keep on celebrating criminals disguising as legit business men. 99 percent of those parading themselves as billionaires from that region are fraudsters, kidnappers and drug pushers. Ask them the source of their billions then they turn it to fight. One down and many to go.

How such people find their way into government circles baffles me

Those people and crime are co twins

Political arrest. Because iheduoha has ed LP. The have brought ihedioha name in
