Monday, November 17, 2025 - The Ebonyi State Command says it has recorded another significant breakthrough in its fight against criminal elements operating within the state.
It revealed that it foiled an armed robbery attack,
neutralised the suspect, and rescued the victim.
It stated that on 12th November 2025, operatives of the
Command, while on patrol along the Ehamufu–Nkalagu Road, heard sporadic
gunshots and distress screams.
The officers swiftly moved to the location and found one Ali
Solomon struggling with three armed robbers who were attempting to dispossess
him of his motorcycle.
Upon sighting the police, the hoodlums opened fire and fled.
The operatives returned fire, neutralising one of the suspects and recovering
one AK-47 rifle loaded with ten (10) rounds of ammunition.
Similarly, on 13th November 2025, a kidnapping syndicate
terrorising the Ezzangbo axis in Ohaukwu LGA abducted one Obasi ThankGod, tied
him up, and abandoned him inside a hotel toilet while demanding a ransom of
Five Million Naira (₦5,000,000).
Through diligent intelligence gathering, operatives of the
Command traced the hideout of the kidnappers, successfully rescued the victim,
and arrested three suspects.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the
Command’s spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, and made available to journalists in
Abakaliki.
The statement gave their names as: Uchenna Ogbozuru, Ebuka
Ejiogu, and Chizoba Idenyi Ogwa. The suspects are currently in custody and will
be charged to court upon conclusion of the investigation.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Adaku Uche-Anya, reiterated
the Command’s unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and property of all
residents and ensuring that criminal elements have no hiding place within the
state.
She also extended her appreciation to the good people of
Ebonyi State for their continuous support, particularly through timely and
credible information that enables the Command to effectively fulfil its
mandate.
