The Enugu State Police Command has arrested a notorious armed robbery suspect identified as Chibuzo Agu, who had been terrorising the residents of Oji River in the state.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO], Mr Ebere Amaraizu, stated this to newsmen on Monday in Enugu, NAN reports.
Amaraizu said that the police recovered a gun and a cartridge from the suspect.
“It was gathered that Agu, 23, from Amokwe in Udi community but residing at coal camp had allegedly on Jan. 27 at about 8:30a.m. on gun point led his other notorious gang members to where they had allegedly snatched and stolen a new motorcycle from the owner at Wonderful Market.
“However, alarm raised prompted a hot chase of the suspect and his gang members by the combine team of the police operatives, Neighbourhood watch group and NDLEA operatives in the area.
“The hot chase and trace, however, paid off as the suspect was later arrested at Umuabi in Udi Local Government Area of the state, while a manhunt and search for other fleeing members of the gang had been intensified,’’ he said.
The police spokesman said that that the suspect had been helping police operatives in their investigation in relation to his cult leadership (Capone).
“The suspect is also being interrogated over other high profile cases of cult activities in Enugu metropolis and 9th Mile Corner axis including assassination, armed robbery and kidnapping,’’ he said.
