Enugu State police command has arrested two male suspects over their alleged involvement in armed robbery in Obinagu-Etiti Nara-Unateze in Nkanu East Local Government Area.
The spokesman of the command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe said the suspects; Chekwube Nwobodo aged 27, and Ifeanyi Edeh aged 30, both males, were arrested on January 3rd, 2024, at about 2.40 p.m.
Ndukwe added that their arrest by Operatives, serving in the Nkanu East Police Division, followed a swift response to a distress call following which one locally fabricated pistol with two live cartridges, pieces of substance suspected to be crystal meth (otherwise known as Mpkuru-Mmiri), and a quantity of weed suspected to be marijuana were recovered.
He stated that the suspects and their gang members at large are alleged to have carried out a series of armed robberies, burglaries, and other criminal activities in the Obinagu-Etiti Nara-Unateze, while assuring that the two in custody will have their day in court of law once investigations are concluded.

Hence, the CP reassures that the Police commitment to actualize this remains unwavering.”
