The Anambra State Government has made a shocking discovery of 35 graves, a shrine, and other chilling items at Udoka Golden Point Hotel and Suites in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area.
The hotel, allegedly a hub for kidnapping and other criminal activities, was demolished on Friday under the directive of the state government.
Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, the Deputy Governor of Anambra State, led the demolition team and revealed that live bullets, expended shells, and a shrine were discovered on the top floor of the two-story building.
“This facility is linked to horrific crimes, including graves and a shrine. Such properties violate the Homeland Security Law and will be confiscated and demolished,” Ibezim declared.
The demolition was carried out in line with the Homeland Security Law signed by Governor Charles Soludo, empowering the state to demolish properties used for criminal purposes.
Speaking on the incident, Ken Emeakyi, Special Adviser to Governor Soludo on Community Security, stressed that this was just the beginning.
“This operation shows our commitment to combating crime in Anambra. The government will continue to take decisive action to make the state safe for all residents,” Emeakyi said.
Our correspondent reported that the hotel’s rooms were in a state of disrepair, with evidence of criminal activity, including expended bullet shells, scattered throughout.
The discovery has left both the local community and authorities in shock.
In response, the state government has called on residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities. Dr. Ibezim emphasized the need for collective effort in fighting crime.
“This is a battle we must fight together. We urge residents to stay alert and report anything unusual in their communities,” he said.
