 ENUGU POLICE OPERATIVES RECOVER FIREARM, AMMUNITION FROM FLEEING SUSPECTS, ARREST THREE MALE SUSPECTS FOR STEALING MOTOR BATTERIES IN SEPARATE OPERATIONS



Police Operatives serving in Emene Division of the Enugu State Command, working with law-abiding citizens, today, June 16, 2024, around 7 p.m., recovered a Beretta pistol with thirty-six (36) rounds of .9 mm calibre ammunition in a bush at Airport Corner, by Old Abakaliki Road, Emene, Enugu. The exhibits are suspected to have been abandoned by criminal elements on the hot trail of the police operatives for allegations of armed robberies.


In a different operation, one Eze Ebuka, aged 24, Nnamdi Chukwuemeka, aged 21, and Friday Ilo, aged 31, all males, were arrested on June 7, 2024, around 2 p.m., by police operatives serving in the Awkunanaw Division of the State Command. 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.
