Enugu police operatives, Awkunanaw division on May 7, 2024, arrested one David Ogah Bassey,31, aka “Onye Army”, while his cohorts escaped. One locally fabricated Beretta-like pistol was recovered from him.

Similarly, Operatives of the Oji-River division working with members of the Neighbourhood Watch Group arrested Akabue Favour,18, and Obayi Chiemezie,19, both residents of Trans-Ekulu.
The suspects are alleged to have used the toy guns to snatch now recovered car from a male suspect, robbing him of his cash, handset, and other belongings at Amaetiti-Akwu in Achi Oji-River LGA.
