The Police Command in Anambra said it has arrested 95 suspected cultists and three suspected members of an armed robbery syndicate in the state.
He said that 32 of the suspects were released after screening, while 28 were charged to court and 10 placed under police supervision for being under-age. “The suspects had on April 19 conspired and snatched a bag belonging to one Mercy Anekwe, containing the sum of N15, 000 and a Canon Xpro valued at N75, 000.
