Anambra Police Arrest Two with Firearm in Nnewi
The Anambra State Police Command arrested two suspects, Ekwulugo Chiemierie Joseph, aged 33, and Enyiobi Geoffrey Somtochukwu, aged 29, during a stop-and-search operation in Nnewi, Nnewi North Local Government Area. The operation was conducted by the Rapid Response Squad, Nnewi Sector, and Police Mobile Force 54 on September 26.
The suspects were traveling on a Tiger 150 motorcycle without a registration number when they were stopped for a search, which led to the recovery of a six-round English-made pistol. SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokesman for the command, stated that the suspects are currently in custody and assisting police with ongoing investigations to determine the origin of the firearm and its intended use.
The police are also exploring other circumstances surrounding the recovery to identify any further links that may aid the investigation.
