One Chiamaka Mbah (female), aged 32, has been arrested over the killing of three men at Nenwe in Aninri local government area of Enugu State.
Ms Mbah is among the suspects that allegedly killed the three men, who they captured and brought to the community’s market square and allegedly murdered them.
The other suspects are Nwaru Kenneth, 51; Ifeanyi Chukwueze, 39; Mbah Monday, 35; Odinawa Chukwu Ejim, 30, and Ikechukwu Nkem Ude, 45, all of Nenwe community.
This was disclosed by DSP Daniel Ndukwe, Enugu State Police Command’s public relations officer, during a press conference on Tuesday.
He said, “Acting on intelligence, police operatives serving in the command’s SWAT arrested the suspects at different locations and dates in the month of September 2023 for their involvement in the brutal murder of three male victims in the wee hours of 09/09/2023 at Agbada Nenwe in Aninri LGA.”
Also paraded was a middle-aged driver, Tochukwu Joseph, arrested along Opi-Nsukka road in Enugu State while conveying a hundred live cartridges waybilled to Abuja from Enugu.
DSP Ndukwe said, “The suspect, Tochukwu Joseph, aged 36, of Orozo, FCT, Abuja, is an Executive Cruise Company commercial bus driver. He was intercepted and arrested by mobile police operatives of No. 3 PMF, Enugu, while on a routine stop-and-search duty along Ugwuogo/Opi/Nsukka road on 14/09/2023 at about 4am.
“Upon thorough search conducted by the operatives, a parcel containing 100 live cartridges was recovered. The suspect, however, claimed that the exhibit was given to him as a waybill to deliver to a recipient in Abuja. Further discreet investigation is ongoing.”
They were among the 92 suspected criminals paraded at the state police headquarters on Tuesday. CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, during the parade, advised criminals in the state to turn a new leaf.
