“The suspects confessed to being members of the Black Axe Confraternity and had unlawfully assembled…to mark the group’s 7/7 day celebration.”
Mr Ato said the signal stated that on that, men of Operation Zenda JTF led by ASP. Yusuf Isah acting on a tip-off, raided a criminal hideout in Gboko town.
The police spokesman said the suspects had allegedly confessed to being members of a secret cult, the Black Axe Confraternity, during a police investigation.
Mr Ndukwe explained that the arrest followed a distress call about the nefarious activities of the suspect within the Topland area of Awkunanaw in Enugu.
