The CP said sports remained one of the most effective platforms for keeping youths away from crime, cultism, drug abuse, and other social vices.
The police spokesman in the state, Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Ikenga explained that the arrest followed a viral video on the cruel treatment of the aged woman.
The police said that the trio were killed after the hoodlums kidnapped them while on a mission to recover a stolen vehicle.
The police command said its Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was deployed to defuse the explosives.
