Imho state command of the Nigeria police
0:02
force has given reasons why a suspected
0:04
kidnapper Habin ori who the police said
0:07
his gang are responsible for series of
0:09
kidnapping and armed robbery in an amra
0:12
delta and rivers states has not been
0:14
charged to court since he was arrested
0:16
while condemning an ex-social media post
0:19
published by an account holder named Fio
0:22
Suyombo who has raised alarm that the
0:24
police arrested and detained a bin or he
0:26
described in the post as a businessman
0:28
for 8 months without charging him to
0:30
court. In a swift reaction on Saturday,
0:34
Imho State Police Command in a statement
0:36
issued and made available by the command
0:38
spokesperson Aoy Henry narrated and
0:41
listed the alleged crimes committed by
0:43
the detained Abinino ori saying, "The
0:46
kind of crimes AA is allegedly involved
0:48
in. A capital offense is the police has
0:50
no right to grant his bail and the delay
0:53
in taking him to court is because the
0:55
alleged crimes cut across multiple
0:57
states which required more time for
0:59
proper investigation.
1:01
Fisio Suyombo, who often introduces
1:04
himself as an undercover investigator,
1:06
had tweeted on exocial media on Saturday
1:09
with a photograph of the police officer
1:11
in charge of the case and said, "Spola,
1:14
the officer in charge of the
1:16
anti-kidnapping unit of the police in
1:18
Iho, has been detaining Abin ori, a
1:20
43-year-old businessman for eight
1:23
straight months without charging him to
1:25
court. SPA says nobody, not even the
1:29
IGP, can compel him to act otherwise.
1:32
And the police replied and said, "The
1:34
Imho State Police Command is aware of a
1:37
recent misleading publication on the
1:39
social media platform X authored by Mr.
1:43
Fisio Suyombo alleging the unlawful
1:46
detention of one Mr. Ain ori by the
1:48
officer in charge of the anti-kidnapping
1:54
To set the record straight, Mr. Abinino
1:57
orgi is a key suspect in multiple
1:59
high-profile cases of kidnapping and
2:02
armed robbery. He is an ex-convict
2:04
previously remanded at the Akiway
2:06
Correctional Center 2017209
2:10
over conspiracy and armed robbery
2:12
charges. His most recent arrest was
2:15
based on credible intelligence linking
2:17
him to a criminal syndicate involved in
2:19
trafficking stolen vehicles acquired
2:21
through violent crimes. Consequently,
2:24
Abinji and his syndicate ran out of luck
2:27
when they kidnapped Gif Keno Carfor on
2:29
the 15th of November 2024 and
2:32
dispossessed him of his Toyota
2:34
Highlander SUV, a gold necklace, and
2:37
other valuables worth over 20 million
2:39
naira, after which a ransom of 10
2:42
million naira was paid. Swift tactical
2:45
operations by the anti-kidnapping unit
2:47
led to the arrest of two suspects, Chido
2:50
Zichuku and Uchennachuku, whose
2:52
confessions subsequently led to the
2:54
arrest of Abin ori, identified as a key
2:57
figure in the kidnapping operation.
2:59
During interrogation, Mr. Orgie
3:02
voluntarily confessed to receiving and
3:04
selling vehicles obtained through armed
3:06
robbery and kidnapping. His confessional
3:09
statement significantly advanced ongoing
3:11
investigations and led to the recovery
3:13
of several stolen vehicles across Imho,
3:16
Anamra, Delta, and Rivers states. These
3:20
include a black Toyota Highlander,
3:22
another Toyota Highlander with a Bony
3:24
registration, a black Range Rover Sport,
3:27
four minibuses, and a Toyota Camry
3:30
Spider model. Further investigations led
3:33
to the arrest of nine other syndicate
3:35
members, and the recovery of an Act 47
3:37
rifle, two pumpaction guns, over 40
3:40
rounds of ammunition, and other
3:42
incriminating items, confirming the
3:44
group's involvement in organized violent
3:46
crime. While it is true that Mr. Orgie
3:50
has been in custody for a period, we
3:52
wish to clarify that he has not been
3:54
held for up to 8 months as alleged. His
3:57
detention is related to capital offenses
4:00
for which bail cannot be granted by the
4:02
police. Moreover, the complexity of the
4:05
investigation spanning multiple states
4:08
and involving several suspects has
4:11
necessitated his continued detention,
4:14
particularly as his cooperation remains
4:16
crucial to unraveling the syndicate's
4:18
operations. He will be arraigned in
4:20
court at the earliest possible time. The
4:23
Imho State Police Command wishes to
4:25
emphasize that CSP Auda and his team
4:28
operate within the confines of the law
4:30
and remain accountable to the
4:32
professional and ethical standards of
4:34
the Nigeria Police Force. Any allegation
4:37
of human rights abuse or professional
4:39
misconduct may be formally reported to
4:41
the complaint response unit CRU or the
4:45
ex squad unit for prompt and appropriate
4:47
action. It is unfortunate that such a
4:50
serious matter of national security was
4:52
misrepresented and published without
4:54
first seeking clarification from the
4:56
command. Issues of this magnitude demand
4:59
responsible and professional reporting,
5:03
The IMHO state police command remains
5:06
unwavering in its commitment to
5:07
transparency, the protection of human
5:10
rights, and the enforcement of the rule
5:12
of law. We call on the public to
5:14
disregard any misleading narratives and
5:16
continue to support our ongoing efforts
5:19
to make Himho state safer for all. The
