During questioning, the suspect said they were on their way to Onne in Port Harcourt, Rivers State to make a delivery when they were arrested.  


The arrest followed weeks of surveillance along the coastal lines of Mkpanak, at Ibeno Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. 


The suspects are making useful statements and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
