The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has reaffirmed the Enugu State Police Command’s commitment to combating crime within the state and its environs.
CP Giwa states that there will be no hiding place in the state for hoodlums as his men are determined to burst their camouflage and keep Enugu safe.
In a press release signed by SP Daniel Ndukwe, Police Public Relations Officer revealed that Operatives attached to Highway Patrol arrested a 25 years old male suspect who disguised himself as a Corp member.
“Police Operatives serving in the Enugu State Command, attached to the Safer Highway Patrol, on 11th October 2025, intercepted and arrested one male suspect, Chinecherem Ugwuagu, aged 25, who was dressed in a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniform, along the Enugu/Onitsha Expressway.”
“A gun-like object made from a body lotion container wrapped with cloth, a robbed Carter motorcycle, clothes, bank ATM card, and other exhibits were recovered from him.”
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect, on the same date at about 8:00 a.m., broke into the house of a victim at 9th Mile, Udi Local Government Area, and used the gun-like object to threaten and rob the victim of the recovered items.”
“He thereafter dressed in the NYSC uniform to disguise himself and evade security checks along the road but was intercepted and arrested by eagle-eyed operatives while escaping on the motorcycle.”
Upon conclusion of investigation, the suspect Chinecherem Ugwuagu will be arraigned in court to decide his fate.
