On the Second Niger Bridge in Anambra State, officers from the Anambra State Police Command detained two suspect robbers who were known for robbing unsuspecting people of their belongings.
According to the command’s spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, the suspects are from the states of Enugu and Ebonyi. Ikenga claimed that last week, while on a surveillance patrol, security personnel from Harbour Division were made aware of the gang’s activities close to the bridge’s Obosi end in Anambra.
He claimed that the undercover police team attacked the group and detained two of them while the others fled.
