Imo State Police Command Announces Intensified Crackdown On Kidnapping, Violent Crimes Along Owerri- Aba Expressway
As part of ongoing efforts to curb kidnapping and other violent crimes along the Owerri–Aba Expressway, a high-powered team led by the Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma on Saturday, 6th December, 2025, inspected suspected kidnappers hideouts in Umuhu Autonomous Community in Ngor-Okpala following credible intelligence on Stanley Morocco Oparaugo, currently at large.
The delegation included the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Chioma Egu; Chief Pathologist, Imo State Specialist Hospital, Dr. Ibeaja Okechukwu; members of the Ngor Okpala Vigilante Group led by Mr. Henry Ikpe; and the Chairman of Ngor Okpala Local Government Area, Hon. Mrs. Chika Ibekwe.
A hotel and a private mortuary owned by the suspect, allegedly used by kidnappers and violent criminals, were inspected.
At the mortuary, decomposed and mutilated corpses were discovered in unhygienic conditions, raising suspicions of illegal organ-harvesting activities.
Following these discoveries, both the hotel and mortuary were sealed on the directive of the State Government.
The suspect’s residence was also searched, and crucial exhibits were recovered.
Forensic experts documented and secured evidence.
After the inspection, the Commissioner of Police assured the public that all accomplices would be identified and brought to justice.
The Police Command also announced that Stanley Morocco Oparaugo has been declared wanted and appealed to anyone with useful information about him, should contact the nearest police station or call 0803 477 3600.
The Command also announced that maximum security has been deployed along the Owerri–Aba Expressway just as it assured travelers during the holidays of its commitment to their safety.
