Police operatives serving in the Enugu State Command, attached to the Safer Highway Patrol, have arrested one male suspect, Chinecherem Ugwuagu, aged 25, who was dressed in a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniform. He was arrested along the Enugu/Onitsha Expressway.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, the operatives recovered a gun-like object made from a body lotion container wrapped with a cloth, a robbed Carter motorcycle, clothes, bank ATM card, and other exhibits.
Ndukwe stated that, “Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect, on 11th October 2025, at about 8am, broke into the house of a victim at 9th Mile, Udi Local Government Area, and used the gun-like object to threaten and rob the victim of the recovered items.
“He thereafter dressed in the NYSC uniform to disguise himself and evade security checks along the road but was intercepted and arrested by eagle-eyed operatives while escaping on the motorcycle.”
He said the suspect would be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Bitrus Giwa, has commended the operatives for the arrest. He reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to combating crimes, and urged the citizens to remain law-abiding and continue supporting the police with credible information to enhance public safety and security in the state.
