Ikenga listed some of the incriminating items recovered from the suspects during the raid to include one pump action gun, four live cartridges, cutlass, criminal charms, and substances suspected to be hard drugs.

“The Operatives also rescued two female victims who the suspects have forcibly abused sexually.

“The arrested suspects are currently undergoing interrogation on their modus operandi and further details shall be communicated in due course”, the command’s spokesman said.

He stated further that another team of the operatives attached to Igbo-Ukwu Divisional Police headquarters in Aguata local government area also on the same day, at noon, recovered one white Peugeot J5 Boxer bus with Reg No: AKL 896 XB, a vandalised lister electricity generator, a roller, pipes, an iron bar, one big plier, screwdriver, a big metal cutter and a pair of black canvas from some fugitives and economic saboteurs.

Ikenga said that the hoodlums were vandalising a lister model electricity generator attached to an MTN mast located opposite St. Martin’s Catholic Church Umudege, Igboukwu and on sighting the police team, took to their heels and fled the scene.

He, however, assured that efforts have been activated by the state police command to arrest the fleeing criminals.

The statement called on anyone, especially residents of the area, to assist the police with useful information that could help in arresting the fleeing suspects.
