Police in
Enugu State have arrested a suspected armed robber and kidnapper,
Chukwudebelu Onyebuchi, whose gang had been terrorising parts of Enugu
and Anambra states
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ebere Amaraizu, who described Onyebuchi as notorious armed robbery and kidnap kingpin, said he was apprehended by men of the Anti-Robbery Squad.
He said: “He has involved himself in a series of kidnapping and armed robbery activities within Anambra and Enugu axis but resides in Owerri in Imo State. “Our men trailed and arrested him in Owerri recently after a gun battle which left him injured.”
The police, according to him, recovered an AK47 rifle with bullets stocked under the back seat of a Toyota Corrolla car with registration number US 45 KJA and a telephone handset from the suspect. “The suspect is now helping the police in their investigations as he has revealed how his gang had terrorised their victims both here in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
“He revealed that he used to live in Johannesburg, South Africa before he joined the gang,” the PPRO added. And in another development, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has seized goods worth over N3 million at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
The Deputy Director incharge of the airport, John Okwori, warned fakers of products who have shifted to the Enugu Airport as a supposed safe haven to have a rethink.
