The policing plan and model on practical intelligence, technology-driven, and tactical operations already placed by the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, Nnaghe Obono Itam, has paid off, following the arrest, on 17/5/2024, of a notorious and most wanted cultist and armed robber in Uruagu village, Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area (LGA).
The suspect, Anichebe Akachukwu, 18 years, a.k.a Star B, has confessed to be the leader of Vikings Secret Cult Confraternity and Armed Gang terrorising Ogbaru LGA and Asaba in Delta State.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, in a statement, said his arrest was made possible due to intelligence, technology-driven, and tactical operations already placed by the Commissioner of Police, Nnaghe Obono Itam.
“His arrest followed a tip-off of intelligence gathered, as he was receiving treatment in their den from a bullet wound sustained in their encounter with police operatives in Asaba. The suspects have provided the police with information on their mode of operations and names of other gang members, which is already aiding the ongoing investigation.
“Also, the police, on 20/05/2024, in Okija, Ihiala, recovered a white Porsche Cayenne SUV with Reg No: AGL 60 HJ Lagos, suspected to be operational vehicle of the gang operating in Ihiala. During a search of the vehicle, the operatives found a bag and discovered 27 pieces of live 7.62m ammunition, three live cartridges, one-touch light, charms, and other incriminating items.
“To this end, the CP has charged the operatives to sustain the tempo and direct continuous onslaught operations aimed to weed out all the criminal elements and reduce crime to the barest minimum in the state,” Ikenga stated.
