The Anambra State Police Command has apprehended eight individuals on charges of kidnapping, cultism, illegal possession of firearms, and armed robbery.
SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokesperson for the command, reported on Friday, September 13, 2024, that the suspects were found with a long gun, a locally made Beretta pistol, ammunition, and a stolen vehicle.
According to Ikenga, two suspects were arrested in Nnewi following a technology-assisted investigation. Their capture is linked to a kidnapping case from August 19, 2024, in Ihiala. The suspects have confessed to their involvement and are assisting with ongoing investigations.
In a separate operation, the Aguata Base Joint Security Operatives, acting on reliable information, raided a criminal hideout early on September 12, 2024. Five suspects—Okorie Miracle, Joshua Ifeanyi Ekwa, Aneke Okorie, Mmesoma Faithful, and Chukwuzekwu Mba—all males aged between 20 and 26 from Umunze—were arrested. The police recovered locally made shotguns, vandalized electricity cables, and tools used in the crimes. The suspects have admitted to the vandalism and are cooperating with the police to identify other gang members and buyers of the stolen items.
Additionally, on September 13, 2024, at around 9:30 am, the Special Anti-Cultism Squad (SPACS) stopped Chigozie Ejikeme, a 25-year-old from Abagana, who acted suspiciously while attempting to evade a security checkpoint along Nise/Agulu Road. Ejikeme was found with a locally made Beretta pistol and one live 9mm ammunition concealed on his person. He admitted to being a member of the Black Axe secret cult. His vehicle, a black Lexus, was also seized.
All suspects are expected to be charged in court once the investigations are completed.
