21-year-old arrested with lethal weapons in Enugu: Police
Police operatives serving in the Awkunanaw Division of the Enugu metropolis, with assistance from Neighbourhood Watch Group, have arrested a suspect, Sunday Chukwu, 21, for unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
They recovered one locally-fabricated pistol with one live cartridge from the suspect during a surveillance and patrol operation on Saturday at about 9:30 p.m.
This is contained in a statement issued by police spokesman DSP Daniel Ndukwe on Monday in Enugu.
The suspect and his cohorts, at large, planned to use the recovered items to perpetrate their criminal intentions this festive season, said the police.
“This shows that the Enugu state police command’s 2022 Yuletide security and safety plan has started yielding fruits in the positive direction,” the police statement explained.
It added that the case was undergoing further discreet investigation.
“However, operational, investigation and intelligence gathering activities geared towards actualising maximum security and safety in the state have been intensified,” stated the Enugu police command.
