On sighting the Police, the hoodlums reportedly engaged them in a fierce gun battle. As a result, the two suspects sustained gunshot injuries on their hand and leg leading to their arrest as follows:

The suspects equally confessed to be members of a secret cult group called “Supreme Vikings Confraternity”. Exhibits recovered in their possessions included two locally made pistols and 10 live cartridges. The suspects were taken to the hospital for treatment after which they will be charged to court for prosecution.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Monday Bala Kuryas, thanked “Ndi Anambra” for their cooperation and urged them to sustain the tempo by assisting the Command with actionable intelligence in order to discover authors of crime in the State.
The CP further reassured the public that the Command under his watch will continue to protect lives and properties of all the citizens in accordance with internationally acceptable best practices.
