The Edo State Task Force has taken decisive action against a notorious kidnapping gang by demolishing a property on College Road, Aduwawa, Benin City, linked to the group. 

The property belonged to the sister of Osamede Asemota, a key leader of the gang, who was arrested and confessed to his involvement in kidnapping activities.

Asemota revealed that the gang had been responsible for several kidnappings in the Aduwawa, Eyan, and Auchi Bypass axis of Benin City. Another suspect, Michael Tare, was also arrested in connection with the kidnapping. 

The gang had demanded a ransom of N8 million from their victim, later demanding an additional N3 million.

The demolition of the property serves as a warning to those involved in criminal activities in the state.

 The Edo State Government's efforts to combat insecurity have yielded positive results, with several kidnappers and other criminals being arrested and brought to justice. 

The government is expected to maintain its momentum in the fight against insecurity.
