Officers from the Enugu State Police Command have killed an armed robbery suspect and apprehended a car theft suspect in two separate operations.
This was revealed in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe, on Thursday.
Ndukwe stated that officers from the 9th Mile Police Division foiled an armed robbery attempt along Owa Road, 9th Mile, killing one of the robbers while the others fled. A cut-to-size double-barreled gun, along with three live cartridges and other items, were recovered from the suspects.
“In a separate operation, police operatives from the Igbo-Etiti Division arrested one Sunday Ejiofor, 23, and recovered a stolen blue Toyota Corolla car from him.
“The suspect confessed to stealing the vehicle from where it was parked in a compound at Orba in Udenu LGA on the same date.
“He has since been arraigned in court and remanded at the Correctional Custodial Centre following the conclusion of the investigation by the Udenu Police Division, which has jurisdiction over the case.
“Furthermore, Operatives from the New Haven Division recovered a Toyota Corolla car that was reportedly stolen from where it was parked at Igbo Eze Street, Independence Layout, Enugu, earlier that night at about 12:05 a.m. The hoodlums abandoned the vehicle and fled upon sighting the operatives who were on their trail.
“The car has since been released to its owner,” the statement said.
Ndukwe went on to say that CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, the Commissioner of Police, had reiterated the Command’s commitment to fighting crime in Enugu State and emphasized the value of ongoing public assistance.
