“Through credible information and a painstaking investigation our operatives have recovered firearms and ammunition used by a notorious kidnapping syndicate led by a wanted kidnapper, one Ubong Effiong Archibong a.k.a Condiment. The kidnapping syndicate is responsible for the kidnapping and killing of several persons.

“The said firearms were recovered at a private mortuary being used as the armoury at Ekeya, Okobo local government area. The firearms are two AK-47 rifles, two G3 rifles, one double barrel rifle, one single barrel rifle, five magazines and seven life ammunitions,” he recalled.

Also paraded was a 56-year-old woman, identified as Eunice Eze, operating a registered orphanage centre in Imo State, but surreptitiously converted into a baby factory where her agent lured young girls from Akwa Ibom State and trafficked them to the centre, where they are impregnated and the babies sold to willing buyers at prices ranging from N600,000 to N800,000.
