The LG Chairman was told that kidnapped victims who died through torture, hunger and gun wounds in the custody of their abductors are usually deposited inside of the abandoned Elele-Alimini general hospital.
He subsequently wondered why the leaders of the Elele-Alimini community allowed such atrocious business in their community.
According to Llyod, such evil activities could not have been going on without the involvement of the key stakeholders, traditional rulers and elders in the community.
He also discovered that a part of the hospital is being used for the storage of illegally refined petroleum products by artisanal refiners.
While ordering security personnel to search the entire hospital, some syndicates and illegal occupants of the hospital were apprehended in their hideout.
