The
Anambra State police command has foiled kidnap and armed robbery attempts in
Onitsha, killing four of the suspects and arresting 12.
The
officer in charge of the State Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in the state, Mr.
James Nwafor said that following a tip off, the police trailed the gang to
Asaba, Delta State, adding that on sighting the police, the gang opened fire on
his men and in the ensuing exchange of fire, four members of the gang were
killed.
He said
that the other 12 suspects paraded were among those terrorizing Anambra State,
adding that among those in the police net was a notorious armed robber and
kidnapper, who killed the officer in charge of SARS in Onitsha, Mr. Emmanuel
Ocheobi in 2012. The killed suspect belonged to the gang of the late kidnap
kingpin, alias Ofeakwu, who was killed last year and his property demolished by
the state government.
