The Anambra State Police Command in continuation of ongoing investigations into a case of conspiracy, kidnapping, armed robbery, and car snatching linked to the activities of a proscribed secessionist group has arrested a suspect.

 

Police operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, arrested another criminal gang member, Kalu Okafor ‘M’, aged 43 years, at Okpoko, Ogbaru LGA, in the early hours of Wednesday 3rd December, 2025.

 

During the operations, the Officers recovered one (1) AK-47 Rifle, one (1) Pump-Action Gun, Two (2) AK-47 Magazines, Eighty-Eight (88) Rounds of Ammunition, two (2) Face Masks, and two (2) Hand Gloves.

 

The feat was recorded following the confession of one of the gang members Chukwudi Nwakpa, who has been in custody, stating how they handed over their firearms to Kalu Okafor for safekeeping after each kidnapping operation. Also, Kalu further admitted that he received returns from the proceeds of ransom collected from kidnapped victims.

 

According to the PPRO, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the suspect is currently assisting the Police with useful information aimed at arresting other fleeing members of the gang and possibly recovering additional operational weapons.

 

SP Ikenga said that further developments will be communicated in due course.
