Anambra govt pulls down hotel used as kidnappers’ hide-out, 30 graves, shrines, pot of human blood discovered

The Anambra government has destroyed a two-story Udoka Golden Point Hotel and Suites known as the “La Cruise Hotel” on the Onitsha-Owerri Road, which is alleged to have been a hiding place for kidnappers and other criminals.

Following inquiries linking the hotel to kidnapping and other heinous crimes, the state security organization, codenamed Operation Udo Ga-Achi or Agunechemba, carried out the demolition, according to Persecondnews.

Upon demolition, there was shocking discoveries within the facility including over 30 partitioned graves on the top floor of the two-story building, a shrine, live ammunition, and other incriminating items, according to a statement from the Anambra State New Media, shared on X late on Saturday.

The security personnel claimed that the discovery of the bust was a result of their ongoing investigation into state-wide organized crime.

At the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office in Awkuzu, law enforcement personnel received blood-stained items and live cartridges after the operation.

In a video shared on Sunday, the team leader said: “We found a shrine, live ammunition, and cartridges while removing the pot used for their rituals.
The pot, containing blood, has been handed over to the police as evidence.

More than 30 people’s graves were well-partitioned along the hotel’s top floor. This was where they carried out their spiritual activities. “

Commenting on the strange discoveries and the demolition, the spokesman of Gov. Chukwuma Soludo, Mr. Christian Aburime, said:” The hotel was destroyed because investigations identified it as a kidnappers ‘ hideout. We discovered graves, army uniforms, live cartridges, and other items.

The neighborhood community had been complaining about frequent gunshots at night, but they were afraid to report because they were afraid of reprisals.

He claimed that the newly enacted “Homeland Security Law of 2025” by the government has given citizens and security services the authority to take decisive action against criminal elements.

“We are making significant progress in removing criminals from Anambra State. This drastic course of action is successful.
