Edo State’s special security squad has destroyed five suspected kidnapper camps in the dense forests of Owan East after a bush-combing operation that turned into a gunfight.
The raid, codenamed Operation Flush Out Cultists and Kidnappers, was led by the Governor’s Principal Security Officer in partnership with the Nigerian Army, local vigilantes and other agencies.
According to Governor Monday Okpebholo’s Chief Press Secretary, Fred Itua, the operatives trekked nearly five kilometres into the Ekeke Erah Forest between Afuze and Ora before uncovering the hideouts.

Eribo Ewanta, a squad member, said signs showed the camps were still active.
“We discovered five camps, with clear indications that their occupants had only just fled. We found fire still burning and a pot of food left on the fire.
“We engaged the suspects in a serious gun duel, but they escaped deeper into the forest. Nevertheless, we are on their trail.
“Their camps have been dismantled and destroyed. Edo State will no longer provide a safe haven for criminal elements,” Ewanta said.
The operative said that evidence of cattle grazing around the sites also raised suspicion of links to armed herders, describing the raid as the start of a sustained crackdown.
“The directive of the Governor is clear: Edo must be free of criminal elements. We will pursue them relentlessly until they are apprehended,” he added.
He credited Governor Monday Okpebholo for a coordinated security strategy that is “restoring public confidence and sending an unmistakable message to criminal networks.”
