Their arrest followed the conduct of a covert operation by the operatives upon the receipt of complaints about the theft of several motor vehicle batteries at a construction site in Awkunanaw, Enugu.


Eze Ebuka and Nnamdi Chukwuemeka, who were initially arrested in the act, upon interrogation confessed to having stolen many batteries, as alleged, and sold them to Friday Ilo, who was later arrested. Fifteen (15) batteries, including those of articulated and other motor vehicles, and tricycle, were recovered from them.


The suspects will be arraigned and prosecuted once investigations are concluded.
