The Enugu State Police Command has intensified its proactive policing efforts with the arrest of two suspects in separate operations for unlawful possession of firearms, ammunition, impersonation, and cultism. Recovered exhibits include firearms, ammunition, and other incriminating materials.
On 26th April 2026, at about 11:00 a.m., operatives attached to the Command’s Department of Operations, while on routine patrol at Naira Triangle along Abakaliki Road, Enugu, arrested one Victory Chinecherem Chukwuebuka Anyegbulam, also known as “Aye Sir Alhaji Seun Usman Danfodio” (male, aged 20). A search led to the recovery of one cut-to-size gun, two live cartridges, and a substance suspected to be cannabis. The suspect confessed to being a member of the Neo Black (Aye) Confraternity.
In a related operation on 23rd April 2026, at about 1:42 p.m., the same operatives arrested one Uzondu Chiemezie Emmanuel (male, aged 34) along Unity Estate/Loma Linda Road, Enugu. A locally fabricated Beretta-like pistol was recovered from him. The suspect initially claimed to be a serving member of the Nigerian Air Force, but later admitted during interrogation that he had deserted and was dismissed from the Force.
Investigations are ongoing, and the suspects will be charged in court upon conclusion.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to ridding Enugu State of criminal elements.
He urged residents to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and supportive by providing credible information to the Police. #Securitynewsalert.com
