The police apprehended the suspect behind the University of Cross River.
Commissioner of Police in Cross River, Sule Balarabe, told reporters in Calabar that the exercise was meant to show the agencies’ preparedness for the 2023 general elections.
The attack was allegedly carried out by political thugs loyal to the deputy speaker of the State House of Assembly, Joseph Bassey.
Making his confessions while being paraded in Calabar on Thursday, Mr Ibangha, 22, said he planned to commit the crime out of greed and frustration.
