One of the returnees from South Africa has been arrested by the police in Enugu State for alleged involvement in armed robbery.
Kingsley Okonkwo, the suspect, from Agbogugu, Awgu Local Government Area of the state, was among 15 suspects paraded at the headquarters of the State Police Command on Tuesday.
Speaking to journalists at the briefing, the state police commisioner, Ahmad Abdur-Rahman, said his men also recovered four guns, four cartridges, 13 handsets, one tricycle, three vehicles, and an English word from the suspects.
Abdur-Rahman explained that the suspects were arrested for various offences, including conspiracy and armed robbery, defilement and murder.
“These achievements were made possible through intelligence-led policing measures put in place by the command,” Abdur-Rahman added.
The police boss further said the command was striving to reduce crime to the barest minimum, through proactive measures, but cautious on issues of the rule of law and human rights.
