Chimeze, 47, was apprehended on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at his residence in Umuehe Quarter, Ibusa, in Oshimili North local government area, following credible intelligence.

During a search of the premises, the operatives recovered two automatic pump-action guns and a cutlass concealed in the ceiling of his room.

Similarly, operatives at Ughelli North LGA on routine stop and search duty along Otokutu Bridge, in Warri, intercepted a black Toyota Corolla car with registration number RSH 90 RC driven by a 27-year-old Telvin Richmond and one Frank Obiorah, 26 years.

A locally made cut-to-size gun, two yellow hand-bands inscribed with NBM “neo black movement”, one battle axe and a wooden pistol, all concealed inside the compartment of the vehicle doors were recovered after thorough search of car.
