Seven infamous criminal suspects who have been operating in the Holy Ghost axis of the Enugu city for years have been apprehended by the Enugu State Police Command.

Nine female handbags, two wallets, two wheel spanners, an iron saw, a functional Dell laptop, an ATM card with the name “Joy Akiji,” a National Identity Number registration form, and other incriminating items that had been stolen from victims were found by police agents during the operation.

This is stated in a statement made on Wednesday in Enugu by DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the command’s spokesman.

According to Ndukwe, the arrest happened after a raid carried out in the Holy Ghost area of the city of Enugu on the state commissioner of police’s order, Kanayo Uzuegbu.

The police spokesman said that the raid and arrest were carried out in the evening hours of Friday, October 27, 2023.

 “Police operatives raided Holy Ghost railway axis, Christ Chemist, Old Park and environs, arresting seven male suspects notorious for attacking and dispossessing innocent and unsuspecting citizens of their belongings.

“The suspects included: Okonkwo Sunday, 35, (a.k.a. Oga Sunny), Nwankwoala Tochukwu, 25, (a.k.a. TC Boy); Ogbu Mmaduabuchi, 18; Miracle Chukwu, 20; Nwali Chinedu, 23; Ananchonam Chinecherem, 18, (a.k.a. Razor) and Junior Nwamini, 20, (a.k.a. Small), all of no known addresses

“The suspects all confessed to the crime and have been arraigned in court and remanded in the Correctional Custodial Centre,” he said.

Ndukwe said that the commissioner had commended and charged police operatives to maintain the tempo while enjoining residents to remain supportive of the police in their efforts to root out unrepentant criminals in the state.
