The Anambra State Police Operatives attached to the Special Anti-Cultism Squad Enugu-Ukwu in the early hours of 16th February 2026, recorded the death of one Chukwuka Solomon, male, aged 21 years, an alleged armed robber and a notorious cultist.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to being a member of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity, also known as “Baggars,” and admitted to having operational weapons belonging to the confraternity. He further disclosed that he works for a notorious individual popularly known as “Aza Man,” alleged to be involved in criminal activities disturbing the peace of Awka and its environs.
