The criminal gang members, identified as Ifesinachi Okonkwo (male, aged 22 years), Chisom Okafor (male, aged 20 years), and Oderah Ebenezer (male, aged 20 years) were arrested at the Kwata Junction axis of the Awka metropolis, by the operatives of the Special Anit Cultism Squad, Enugwu-Ukwu, while on patrol.
Announcing this to newsmen on Thursday, the Police Public Relations Officer of the State, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the suspects were intercepted by the Police operatives in the morning of Wednesday, 15th January, 2025, as they were cruising in a black-coloured Lexus 330 SUV without plate number.
