The Anambra State Police Command has successfully raided a notorious black spot in Eze-Allah, Enugwu-Ukwu, Njikoka LGA of the State..
Operatives attached to the Special Anti-Cult Unit, Enugwu-Ukwu, acting on credible information, carried out the operation during which eight suspects linked to cult-related activities were arrested.
Various quantities of suspected Cannabis Sativa and other dangerous drugs according to the the police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the command, Tochukwu Ikenga (SP), were recovered.
“The suspects, all males, include: Chidalu Nwafor (27 years), Chiemerie Nwazueje (24 years), Chima Arwuike (25 years), Jideobi Emeka (26 years), Oliver Okonkwo (18 years), Izuchukwu Christian (18 years), Onyebuchi (21 years), and Walter Idouzour (44 years).
“The Command notes that the prevalence of illicit drugs remains a major enabler of crime and criminality, particularly among youth groups involved in cult-related activities. This underscores the need for sustained operations and community collaboration in tackling drug abuse and related offences.” Ikenga said.
He said that the suspects are currently undergoing profiling and investigation, after which they will be charged to court accordingly.
The PPRO reassured Ndi Anambra of the Command’s commitment to sustaining ongoing operations aimed at dislodging criminal elements across the State and ensuring the safety and security of all residents.
