Anambra, Nigeria – The Anambra State Police Command has announced the arrest of two suspects, including a native doctor, for alleged kidnapping and armed robbery.
The arrest was made possible by the testimony of a rescued kidnapped victim.
According to the command’s spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the joint security forces comprising the police and Anambra Vigilantes busted a shrine of a native doctor at Uru, Abagana, and arrested two suspects. The police also recovered one pump action, the victim’s vehicle, rope, horsewhip, and other incriminating items during a manhunt on two other suspects who are currently at large.
The suspects, who are natives of Abagana, include Maduabuchukwu, Ikechukwu Okafor (30), and Nweze Chijindu (38). The two suspects who are currently at large are Supuluchukwu Nweze and Sunday Nwakanze (30).
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim was lured to the location by a phone call allegedly initiated by Sunday Nwakanze. The victim was abducted at gunpoint, dispossessed of valuables, and transported to a shrine where he was restrained using ropes and had his mouth sealed.
The two suspects have confessed to the crime and are currently assisting the police with information for the possible arrest of other gang members. The Anambra police command has assured residents of Anambra State of their commitment to ensuring their safety and security.
