“On 26th April 2026 at about 11:00 a.m., operatives attached to the Command’s Department of Operations, while on routine patrol at Naira Triangle along Abakaliki Road, Enugu, arrested one Victory Chinecherem Chukwuebuka Anyegbulam, a.k.a. “Aye Sir Alhaji Seun Usman Danfodio” (male, aged 20).”
“A search conducted on him led to the recovery of one cut-to-size gun, two live cartridges, and a substance suspected to be cannabis. The suspect confessed to being a member of the Neo Black (Aye) Confraternity.”
“In a similar operation on 23rd April 2026 at about 1:42 p.m., the same operatives arrested one Uzondu Chiemezie Emmanuel (male, aged 34) along Unity Estate/Loma Linda Road, Enugu.”
