Snatched Toyota Highlander Recovered As Police Apprehend Female Accomplice In Ogidi 

According to the PPRO, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, preliminary information revealed that the victim was double-crossed by five armed men operating in a Toyota Corolla car at Nkwelle GRA Gate. The suspects forcefully placed the victim in the boot of his vehicle and drove off to a bush in Umuoji Town, where they dispossessed him of his phone and transferred the sum of ₦24,000,000 (Twenty-Four Million Naira) from his account before abandoning him and escaping with the vehicle.

Following the report, the Joint Security Team, acting on technologically driven intelligence, traced the movement of the suspects to Nawfia and subsequently to Ogidi, where the armed hoodlums engaged the operatives in sporadic gunfire before fleeing the scene.

Meanwhile, the Toyota Highlander, white in colour with registration number RBC 649 CN, was recovered and the female accomplice, Okonkwo Onyinye, was later arrested at the scene. She is currently assisting Police detectives with credible information that will aid in the arrest of other fleeing gang members.

Furthermore, the Police have intensified patrols within the State, ahead of the Anambra State Governorship Election scheduled for November 8, 2025.
