According to the State’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga said that the covert Police Team monitored the gang and swooped in on them and arrested two of the gangsters while others fled.

When searched, two daggers and five sim cards removed from previously stolen phones were recovered from the suspects aged between twenty and twenty-two years respectively.
