During the parade of the suspects on Tuesday, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr John Abang, highlighted that one of the suspects, 42-year-old Micheal Obinna from Achina, Aguata Council Area of Anambra State, had been released from prison six months ago for the same crime and was involved in purchasing stolen cars from other suspects.

He emphasized that the state is intolerant to any form of criminal activity and urged residents to provide information that could aid in combating crime.

Recovered items from the suspects include one Beretta pistol, one locally fabricated pistol, and one car tracking jammer.
