Police Bust Robbery Gang, Recovers Weapons, Stolen Tricycles in Anambra

The Police in Ogbaru Division of Anambra State Police Command have smashed a notorious armed robbery gang that has been tormenting members of the public in Okpoko, Obosi, Atani, Oba and environs for several months now.

The feat was made possible by the collaboration between the Police and Community Vigilante in the area.

One Jekwu, a notorious gangster and leader of the gang was arrested on 11th July, 2023. After interrogation, clues he provided were followed up and surveillance mounted on other members of the gang which culminated in the arrest of another member as he attempted to evacuate the gang’s arms from Jekwu’s hideout.

One Pump Action Semi-Automatic Gun and two locally made Pistols were recovered while the second gang member was also taken into custody. Further interrogation led to recovery of five Stolen Tricycles from the gang. Registration Numbers of the recovered Tricycles are as follows :

(1)NSH 156 VU
(2) NNE 622 UW
(3) NSH 203 VU
(4) UKP 349 UV and
(5) UML 359 WV

The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, *CP Aderemi Adeoye* while commending various Vigilante Groups who partner with the Police to provide quality security for people of Anambra State, has called on owners of the recovered Tricycles to come forward with proof of ownership and collect their property.

Meanwhile, Police Commissioner led a formidable Patrol of Police Mobile Force and Police Counter Terrorist Unit on Patrol of the State.

Patrol covered Enugwu Ukwu, Abagana, Eziowelle, Ojoto, Oba, Ichi, Nnewi, Ichida, Igbo Ukwu, Ekwulobia, Nanka, Agulu and Nise before terminating in Awka the State Capital.

In Nnewi the Commissioner paid surprise visits to Area Command Headquarters, CPS Nnewi and Otolo Divisional Headquarters. Despite the odd hour, the Commissioner was impressed that he met the Area Commander and both DPOs at their duty posts and in full uniform.

He commended their dedication to duty and urged them to maintain such high standards.

During the visit the Commissioner visited the cells in all the Formations and was pleased to observe that only few suspects were in detention and none had overstayed.

He asked other Commanders and DPOs to emulate these officers even as he vowed that violation of human rights would not be tolerated under his watch.
