Troops of the 34 Artillery Brigade under Operation Udoka, in collaboration with other security agencies, have disrupted a suspected kidnapping syndicate in Imo State during an intelligence-led operation.
The operation, conducted on July 17, 2026, led to the arrest of a suspect, the recovery of cash suspected to be part of a ransom payment, and the seizure of a vehicle allegedly used in the crime.
Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Ayeni, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to him, troops carried out a cordon-and-search operation in Obinwanne Umuaka, Njaba Local Government Area, following credible intelligence.
