The Enugu State Police Command says its operatives arrested 14 suspected cultists in two intelligence-led operations across the state, recovering two firearms, three live cartridges, and other incriminating exhibits.
The command’s spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, noting that the operations formed part of the command’s sustained offensive against cultism and other violent crimes.
According to Ndukwe, operatives of the Anti-Cultism Sub-Unit of the Violent Crime Response Unit recovered a locally fabricated single-barrelled pistol concealed in a bush in Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area, following the confession of a suspect, Nwodo Peters Chinweokwu, also known as “Sir-P” or “Biggy.”
Ndukwe stated that Chinweokwu had earlier been arrested during a joint operation alongside seven other suspects identified as Nnaji Emmanuel, 34; Iroegbu Joshua, 18; Nwafor Miracle, 28; Ogbonna Moses Osinachi, 19; Oha Chidiebere Francis, 24; Udebuani Chukwuma, 30; and Elochukwu Oko, alias “Benson,” 29.
