This development was revealed in a statement from Anambra State New Media, which shared it on Saturday via its X formerly Twitter, handle.
According to the available information, live ammunition and other incriminating items were also discovered there.

“The top floor of the hotel had well-partitioned graves for over 30 individuals alongside the shrine.
“This was where they carried out their spiritual activities.”
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, 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 local community had been complaining about frequent gunshots at night but were too afraid to report due to fear of reprisal.
“We are making significant progress in flushing out criminals from Anambra State.
“This drastic action is yielding positive results.
“More buildings linked to crimes such as kidnapping, robbery, and hired killings will be demolished, and their owners prosecuted.”
