Suspected Kidnappers Posing as Cattle Sellers Arrested in Anambra 

Police in Anambra have arrested suspected kidnappers who disguised as cattle sellers to carry out their criminal activities, highlighting ongoing security challenges in the region.

A local security organization, Agunechemba, has captured a group of alleged kidnappers in the Agu Odumodu Umunya community of Anambra State.

The suspects allegedly posed as cattle sellers to lure and kidnap a cow meat trader named Chikamso.

Reports indicate that Chikamso narrowly avoided the ambush orchestrated by the suspects and notified the Agunechemba security group.

The security team quickly tracked down and apprehended the suspects.

One of the security personnel, speaking in Igbo, described the incident: “We caught these Fulani cattle herders in the bush. They had lured a meat seller named Chikamso into the bush under false pretenses to examine their cows; he is the person they contacted to purchase them.”

Upon his arrival, they ambushed him with AK-47s. Fortunately, he escaped to Udu and contacted us. When we arrived at the scene, they fired at us, but we were able to successfully apprehend three individuals.
