The suspects, identified as Franci Chukwuka Anen (46), Emmanuel Obi (29), and Okoy Chinonso (35), were apprehended based on credible intelligence.
The police operation, conducted by the Rapid Response Squad Awkuzu, resulted in the recovery of a stolen petrol tanker, two locally made Beretta pistols, and four rounds of live 9 mm ammunition.
