Police in Enugu State, Thursday, said they arrested a total of 123 suspects within July and August this year.
The State Commissioner of Police, Kanayo Uzuegbu, announced during a parade of some of the suspects at the command's headquarters, Enugu.
Uzuegbu told newsmen that several incriminating exhibits were recovered during the operations, while many of the suspects have been arraigned in court and remanded in the Nigerian Correctional Custodial Centres.
Summary of the feat achieved by the police within the period showed that while 123 suspects were arrested, 19 abducted/kidnapped victims were rescued.
“AK-47 and assault rifles recovered -15, Pump action guns recovered – 25, other firearms recovered – 35, live ammunition of different calibres recovered – 710, live cartridges recovered – 187, motor vehicles recovered – 17, tricycles recovered – 11, motorcycles recovered – 8,” the crime summary report indicated.
The CP also used the opportunity to dispel the rumoured kidnapping of some persons around the Enugu State College of Health Technology, Oji-River.
He said, “Rather, the four persons, three of whom were not students of the school, allegedly kidnapped around the College on August 14, 2024, have all been rescued and reunited with their families.
“Meanwhile, be informed that the suspects involved have been arrested and are undergoing interrogation.
“Also, the peddler of the unwarranted panic news on the incident has been traced and he has been apologizing for the mischievous act.
“Similarly, the sinister plans of the IPOB/ESN secessionist renegades to attack the police operatives and cause collateral damage at 4-Corner, along the Enugu/Port-Harcourt Expressway, on August 18, 2024, were squarely thwarted by the operatives.
“The militants, dressed in security forces uniforms and operating in a snatched Lexus 350 Jeep, suddenly opened fire on the patrol team on approaching the operatives.
“However, the operatives returned fire-for-fire and immobilized the Lexus Jeep, forcing the hoodlums to snatch a Toyota Camry car and escape the scene with varying degrees of gunshot wounds.
“Unfortunately, a Special Constabulary performing traffic control duty on the said road undergoing reconstruction, paid the supreme price with his life, while the team’s patrol vehicle was hit by bullets and engulfed in flames.
“The two vehicles the militants snatched from their owners, in their usual way of hiding under the guise of secessionist agitations to inflict social, economic and psychological pains on fellow citizens, have been recovered. Consequently, a joint team of security operatives are on their trail.”
Uzuegbu commended the Enugu State Government, under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Mbah, “for taking the bold and pragmatic steps of demolishing houses and facilities used in harbouring and perpetrating acts of abduction and kidnapping in the State.
“Therefore, I call on citizens of Enugu State, particularly landlords, hoteliers, and owners of uncompleted buildings to be mindful of who they accommodate in such structures.
“This is to ensure that they do not harbour criminals whose activities could bring about the demolition of their building facilities.”
While providing further details on the arrests made within the period, the Police Commissioner said, “yesterday, August 21, 2024, at about 5 p.m., Police Operatives serving in the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad recovered an AK-47 rifle at New Artisan, Enugu.
“The recovery followed the operatives’ swift response to credible information alleging the milling around of suspicious persons in the area.
“The suspects, upon sighting the operatives, opened fire on them.
“However, the operatives promptly returned fire, forcing the hoodlums to escape with gunshot wounds and abandoning the rifle. However, a discreet investigation is ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects.
“Similarly, on August 19, 2024, at about 1:30 a.m., a combined team of Tactical Police operatives busted a kidnapping gang hideout at New Artisan and arrested five (5) suspects.
“The suspects are currently undergoing interrogation and aiding further discreet investigations aimed at fishing out others at large.
“Also, on August 15, 2024, at about 2 a.m., operational and tactical Police Operatives of the Command raided the camp of the outlawed IPOB/ESN renegades at Aninwede Nkwubor, Emene, Enugu.
“The subversive criminal elements on sighting the operatives, opened fire on them.
“But the operatives returned fire at a superior level, neutralizing two of them, while others escaped with varying degrees of gunshot wounds.
“Incriminating exhibits, including firearms the hoodlums snatched from security operatives after attacking them were recovered, while discreet investigations are ongoing to arrest those at large.
“Furthermore, on August 17, 2024, at about 3:20 a.m., a combined team of the Command’s Police Operatives serving in the Awkunanaw Police Division and Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad arrested the following suspects: Obumneme Amara “m”, aged 26, of Ikwo LGA in Ebonyi State, Elom Chinedu (alias “Terry G”) “m”, aged 23, Sani Usman (alias “Gburugburu”) “m”, aged 27, and Onuh Emmanuel “m”, aged 26, all of New Cattle Market, Awkunanaw, Enugu.
“The suspects were arrested following the operatives’ swift response to credible information, alleging that the suspects are part of an armed robbery gang perpetrating criminal acts in different parts of the Enugu metropolis. However, further discreet investigations are ongoing to arrest their cohorts at large.
“Additionally, Police Operatives serving in the Independence Layout Police Division of the Command, on August 21, 2024, at about 2 p.m., arrested three male suspects and recovered a suspected stolen tricycle and a motor vehicle gearbox.
“The suspects, who were arrested during the operatives’ routine surveillance patrol at Idume, New Phase 2, Independence Layout, Enugu. The suspects include:
Mohammed Mohammed, aged 27, of Thinkers Corner, Enugu, Onyedikachi Okolo, aged 22, and Mohammed Idris Sani, aged 22, both of New Artisan, Enugu.”
He said the numerous criminal suspects were nabbed for the offences of murder, armed robbery, kidnapping or abduction, rape or defilement, vandalism, stealing, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, cultism, among others.
The Police commissioner thanked the good citizens of Enugu State for all their support and enjoined them to continue to be law-abiding, vigilant, and support the police with the credible and actionable information needed to actualize their goal of ridding Enugu State of all forms of crime and criminality.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
