Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command attached to the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, Monday, recovered a locally fabricated double-barreled pistol from a criminal hideout.
The recovery followed the confessional statements of two male suspects currently under investigations by the command.
This was contained in a release by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, on Tuesday.
Ndukwe gave the names of the suspects as Uchenna Onwudi, 29, and Eze Chiadikobi, 31. According to him, they were earlier arrested for conspiracy, armed robbery, unlawful possession of firearms, and cultism.
Quoting the release, “They led the operatives to the recovery in an uncompleted building located at Trans-Ekulu, Enugu. Both suspects had confessed to being members of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity. They, along with other accomplices, will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has reiterated the command’s commitment towards combating all forms of crimes in the state. CP Giwa also urged residents of the state to remain law-abiding and supportive of the police.
