The Police Command in Enugu State says it has arrested 195 suspects and rescued 19 abducted persons in the state within a month.

The police also recovered 10 AK-47 rifles, one sub-machine gun, 37 locally fabricated and other firearms, as well as 67 live ammunition of different calibres.

According to him, majority of the suspects have been arraigned in court and remanded in custodial centres, while others are being investigated. “This has become necessary to avoid creating an atmosphere of chaos, fear, and unnecessary tensions in the minds of unsuspecting citizens. “You will recall that upon receiving report of the unpleasant incident, I immediately ordered the deployment of the operational and intelligence resources of the Command to hunt down the criminal elements said to have escaped thereafter.

He also directed the local police chiefs to work closely with the neighbourhood watch group, forest guards, and community members to frontally tackle violent crimes in their areas of responsibility.
