YULETIDE SECURITY: ENUGU POLICE OPERATIVES BUST ARMED ROBBERY AND ONE-CHANCE SYNDICATE, ARREST FIVE SUSPECTS, RECOVER IMITATION GUN, STOLEN TRICYCLES AND OTHER EXHIBITS


Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command attached to the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad have arrested five armed robbery and one-chance criminal suspects in a series of coordinated operations and investigations conducted between 22nd November and 1st December 2025. The suspects are Ikechukwu Patrick (male, 19), Odoh David (male, 21), Izuchukwu Ogbodo (male, 37), Charles Ekenechukwu Egwuatu (male, 39), and Justina Dike (female, 37). Exhibits recovered from them include an imitation gun, four stolen tricycles, a scissors blade, multiple master keys, and several SIM cards.


Patrick and Odoh were first arrested on 22nd November 2025 with the assistance of the Neighbourhood Watch Group. An imitation gun and a scissors blade were recovered from them. They confessed to belonging to the Supreme Vikings Confraternity and admitted that the recovered items were intended for armed robbery. Their confessions led to the arrest of Izuchukwu Ogbodo, from whom six master keys and five MTN SIM cards were recovered.


Odoh further confessed to stealing tricycles at different locations within Awkunanaw, Enugu, using the master keys and admitted to being part of a one-chance syndicate responsible for dispossessing unsuspecting victims of their valuables. His statement facilitated the arrest of Justina Dike and Charles Ekenechukwu Egwuatu. Justina confessed to participating in one-chance operations with Charles and Odoh, admitting to dealing in hard drugs at New Garriki, where she received stolen items, including tricycles, in exchange for drugs.


These confessions led to the recovery of four BAJAJ RE tricycles, two identified by registration numbers JRV 461 WZ and ENU 018 VG, while the other two had no visible registration marks. The suspects will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, psc, commended the operatives for their diligent efforts and directed them to ensure that every individual connected to the syndicate is arrested and more exhibits recovered. He reiterated the Command’s unwavering commitment to maintaining security and safety across Enugu State this festive season and beyond, urging residents to remain vigilant, law-abiding, and cooperative with the Police.
