Parading the suspects at the State Police Command headquarters at Ikot Akpanabia, near Uyo, the State capital, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Timfon John, said they were overpowered and rounded up at Unyenghe village in Mbo local government area of the State.

Following the arrest, the Police spokesman disclosed that the suspects led Police detectives to where the headless bodies of the abducted vigilantes tagged, ‘Marine Hunters’, engaged for securiy intelligence by the State’s Ministry of Internal Security and Waterways, were buried in a shallow grave.
