According to a statement issued on Monday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the suspect was apprehended on June 13, 2025, at Ugbeji-Okpanam, near Asaba, following an intelligence-led operation carried out by operatives attached to the 33 Police Station.

He added that the successful arrest demonstrates the Command’s commitment to tracking down suspects, recovering stolen property, and maintaining public trust.

The police assured the public that investigations are ongoing and promised to bring all those connected to the incident to justice.
