Edo Security Operatives Dismantle Kidnappers' Camps in Ekeke Erah Forest

Edo Security Operatives, in collaboration with the Nigerian Army and local vigilante groups, successfully engaged kidnappers and dismantled their camps in Ekeke Erah Forest, Owan East Local Government Area. The operation, led by the Principal Security Officer of the Governor, involved trekking deep into the forest to uncover and destroy the camps.

The security team encountered suspected kidnappers, leading to an exchange of gunfire. Evidence of cattle grazing in the forest raised suspicions of a possible link to armed herders.

This operation marks the beginning of sustained efforts to rid the state of kidnappers and violent groups, with a focus on fortifying security across Edo State.
