Mr Ndukwe said the suspect was detained on January 21 by operatives of the command serving in Igbo-Eze North Police Division.
The police spokesman said that an intensive manhunt is still ongoing to apprehend the hoodlums, who escaped on sighting the police operatives.
Mr Ndukwe said the raid was in pursuance of the crime-fighting strategies devised by the state’s Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Lawal.
The public and owners of medical facilities in the state have been urged to “report any person(s) with gunshot injuries to the nearest police station.”
