According to the state’s spokesman, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, Daniel Ndukwe, said that the suspects were carried out in different operations in late February and early March 2023, leading to the arrest of Ogbe Chekwube, 25 a.k.a Akpaka, a member of Burkina Faso Confraternity and Justice Uche, 21, a.k.a Aye Snow, a member of Black Axe Confraternity.

Ndukwe added: “Their arrest is a sequel to the receipt of a series of credible information and reports alleging the perpetration of acts of armed robbery, attempted murder, unlawful possession of firearms, cultism and other criminal activities by the suspects. One English-made Pump Action gun, one locally-fabricated cut-to-size gun, one Bajaj tricycle, several phones and SIM Cards, two Bank’s ATM Cards, one NIN and Driver’s License were recovered from them.
