However, exhibits recovered during the raid, he added, include a large cache of arms and ammunition, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), and other incriminating items.
Meanwhile, Okoye asserted that the security agencies reaffirmed their united resolve to restore peace and security across the state.
Residents, he noted, are urged to go about their lawful businesses without fear, as normalcy, he assured, has been restored but encouraged the public to provide credible information on suspicious activities and report anyone with gunshot injuries to the nearest police station.
