Alleged Military-Kidnapper Collaboration Sparks Violence in Enugu State
Alleged Military-Kidnapper Collaboration…..
In a distressing turn of events, Enugu State has been plunged into palpable tension following reports of Nigerian soldiers allegedly aiding kidnappers, resulting in a tragic incident along the 9th Mile – Eke-Ezeagu Road on Thursday night.
According to our correspondent members of the State Neighborhood Watch, who were actively engaged in combating kidnappers, were reportedly met with gunfire from soldiers. This violent encounter claimed two lives, including the wife of one victim, while leaving four others wounded.
This tragic incident highlights a grave concern in the state, as major highways have become hotspots for kidnappings, even with the presence of numerous military and police checkpoints. Commercial drivers, deeply affected by the surge in abductions, took to the streets in protest along the Enugu-Ugwuogo-Opi-Nsukka Road, calling on both security agencies and the state government to address this alarming situation.

The disturbing revelation of security operatives and soldiers possibly colluding with kidnappers further exacerbates the insecurity crisis in the state and the larger Southeast region. Journalists visiting the scene and the survivors at the hospital described the aftermath as horrific, with victims in critical condition.
This incident has shattered the peace of Eke community, which has unfortunately been witness to some of the most devastating kidnappings in Enugu State. The fear instilled by these events has forced local farmers to abandon their fields, as they now harbor concerns that the Nigerian Army may be indirectly involved in attacks, potentially collaborating with Fulani herdsmen.
Eke community, which holds significance as the country home of the Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), now stands as a symbol of the escalating tensions and security challenges facing Enugu State. The urgent need for a comprehensive and effective response to curb these activities cannot be overstated, as the safety and wellbeing of the citizens hang in the balance.
