Men of questionable characters arrested by the Police in the Past |
Operatives of the Awkunanaw Division of Enugu State
Police Command have smashed a notorious armed robbery and car snatching
syndicate, which had allegedly been terrorizing motorists and residents of
Enugu metropolis and its environs.The gang’s kingpin, identified as one Onovo,
had been on the wanted list of the command for heinous crimes perpetrated by
his men in recent times.According to Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere
Amaraizu, “the gang leader met his waterloo on December 16 at 8p.m., when the
suspect in the company of his other gang members, having snatched an
ash-coloured Passat car around Mount Street, off Agbani Road, Enugu, confronted
the operatives who were already on their trail.“On sighting the operatives, the
gang opened fire on their vehicle and in the ensuing gun battle, one of them
was gunned down while other members of the gang, believed to have sustained
various degrees of gunshot injuries, escaped and abandoned the snatched car.“The
deceased kingpin, Onovo, had been terrorizing the lives of innocent citizens of
Achara Layout of Uwani, One Day axis of Awkunanaw and Ikirike axis of the state
and its environs.“Recovered from the gang were two English cut-to-size pump
action guns, a locally-made double-barrelled pistol and some phones.“Meanwhile,
full scale investigations have commenced with a view to arresting his gang
members, just as the command is appealing to members of the public and hospital
operators for useful and timely information on any one with suspected bullet
wounds for necessary action.”
