POLICE ARREST TWO SUSPECTS FOR DIVERTING AND CONVERTING CEMENT SHIPMENTS ACROSS FOUR STATES


The Anambra State Police Command, in its continued efforts to combat economic and cyber-related crimes, has arrested two suspected fraudsters involved in the diversion and illegal conversion of cement shipments across Anambra, Edo, Rivers, and Delta States.


The suspects, identified as Mr. Mmaduabuchi Udo and Mr. Abubakar Babangida, were apprehended by operatives of the CP Monitoring Unit on 23rd June 2025 in Abuja, following an intelligence-led investigation.


Preliminary investigations reveal that the suspects specialized in using social media platforms to profile cement dealers and extract sensitive operational information from unsuspecting victims. They allegedly leveraged this data to facilitate the diversion of cement consignments intended for legitimate businesses.


The arrest underscores the need for vigilance when sharing business-related information online, especially on social media, which continues to be exploited by criminal syndicates.


The suspects are currently cooperating with investigators and have provided useful information that is aiding efforts to identify and apprehend other members of the syndicate. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, the suspects will be arraigned in court.


The Commissioner of Police, Anambra State Command, reassures the public of the Command’s commitment to protecting lives, property, and economic interests in the state. Members of the public are urged to report suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through the Command’s emergency contact lines.
