Also, Police Operatives at about 4:30pm on 28/6/2022 rescued two suspects namely: one Okoye Stephen aged 19years and Chukwuemeka Nwudo age 27years from mob action along Zik’s Avenue Awka.

The suspects were caught armed with a locally made pistol, in attempt to dispossess a young lady of her cash, after withdrawing money from ATM. The suspects were already beaten to stupor by the angry mob before police rescued them. The Operatives also recovered one locally made pistol and one live cartridge from the criminals.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Echeng Echeng while charging the Operatives to sustain the tempo on the fight against violent crimes in the State, reiterates the advocacy against mob action/jungle justice. He also encouraged the public to take suspects to police stations whenever they are apprehended, this will help
the Police to conduct proper investigations into the activities of the suspects and bring them to justice in accordance with extant laws.
