Enugu state Police Command has denied the viral video clip and media report that Enugu-Ugwogo road is not safe, that hoodlums kidnapped three persons on Friday.

Police public relations officer, Enugu Police Command, DSP Dan Ndukwe in a statement on Saturday, described the report as untrue and misleading.

The statement read:

Enugu State Police Command is in receipt of a viral video clip depicting gunshots and people running in a forest, with the accompanying message that “Enugu-Ugwogo is not safe now… Yesterday, hoodlums kidnapped three times yesterday. The first was by 12pm, 2pm and 6pm.” This was similarly published in some news blogs and webpages with the title: “kidnappers conduct marathon operations at Nsukka-Ugwogo-Nike-Enugu Road”.

“The Command, therefore, wishes to state categorically that the video, with the accompanying message and the news publications, are not only untrue, but highly unfounded and misleading.

“This is because there was no such serial or repeated incident of kidnapping on the same day as reported, or shooting and chaotic incident as relayed in the video, at the mentioned location or any other part of the State.

“As a matter of fact, forensic analysis of the video indicates that it did not happen anywhere in the country, let alone Enugu State. In the same vein, the Command sees the unverified and unfounded report of repeated kidnapping incidents on the same day, as a misleading and mischievous act of misinformation, aimed at creating panic in the State.

“Nonetheless, the Command, while acknowledging the recent reoccurrence of acts of abduction/kidnapping at some locations of the said road, wishes to clearly state that sensationalizing and blowing the situation out of proportion, as intended by peddlers of the video clip and the publication, will never be in the best interest of the security and safety of the State and her people.

“Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Ammani, fdc has ordered the massive deployment of the Command’s policing resources to the said location and other of such locations, to sustain onslaught against criminal elements.

” He reiterates the unwavering commitment of the Command to contain such acts of crime and criminality in the State and to bring their perpetrators to book.

“The CP, therefore, enjoins citizens of the State, especially those of locations where acts of abduction/kidnapping and other criminality are perpetrated, to assist the Command with credible information and intelligence required to tackle the situations headlong. This they can do by reporting at the nearest Police Station or by calling the Command’s emergency hotlines on: 08032003702, 08075380883, 08086671202 or 08098880172, or send email to infoenugupolice@gmail.com, Nduka said

Yesterday, hoodlums kidnapped three times yesterday.
The first was by 12pm, 2pm and 6pm.”

At 38, I was losing interest in my job as a carpenter and my back hurt. At 40, I had my first child, a girl. At 42, my first son. At 45, I entered university. At 50, I had two bachelors degrees: computer science and applied mathematics. But something called the dot-com crash had happened while I was studying and computer work was hard to find, even for the young kids I was at university with. I spent another year at school, training to be a math teacher, then had a semester as a supply/substitute teacher, called in when someone was sick. I was called in twice in four months. Meanwhile, I was working as a carpenter again, actually enjoying it after a long break. Then I was offered a temporary job teaching residential construction and math-based engineering courses to young adults at a polytechnic. The students were great: good people with varied backgrounds. The job became permanent until I retired a few months ago at 66. I could have continued but have plans, interests, which will only become more difficult to achieve.

Have I achieved much in life? It depends on your value system, I suppose. I am certainly not wealthy in financial terms but, with a small pension and some investment income, I have all I need. (Certainly, if I'd started earlier, I'd have more money but I have no regrets.) I have a beautiful wife whom I love even more than the day I married her 30+ years ago. I have two wonderful adult children. I am fairly healthy. I am happy. I have achieved all I could wish for. I am very lucky.
