BREAKING NEWS

ANAMBRA POLICE ARRESTS ADDITIONAL FOUR SUSPECTS OVER THE MURDER OF THREE CAMEROONIAN NATIONALS: SUSTAINS EFFORTS TO APPREHEND THE GANG LEADER AND OTHER MEMBERS

Recovers two pump action guns, one locally made Beretta pistol, one machete, assorted ammunition and criminal charms

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested four additional suspects in connection with the murder of three Cameroonian nationals in the State.

The suspects, all males, include the alleged Chief Priest of a shrine, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel, also known as “Ugoebenajah,” aged 27 years, alongside Nwabunne Bright (27 years), Chinecherem Chiama (21 years) and Michael Ekwunife (38 years) respectively. The team also recovered two pump-action guns, one locally made Beretta pistol, one machete, assorted charms, expanded ammunition, ten live cartridges and five live 9mm ammunition in Nando community, Anambra East Local Government Area.

This feat was recorded on 13th February 2026. Given the confession of the two earlier arrested suspects in custody, the Command Operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad Awkuzu swiftly mobilised to the identified shrine in Nando.

On approaching the shrine, about thirty able-bodied men were observed gathered at the premises. Upon sighting the Police, the armed men opened fire on the operatives. The Police operatives responded professionally, engaging the armed men in a gun duel. While the prime suspect, Uchenna Mmaduamaka Nicholas, a native of Oroma Etiti Anam escaped alongside other gang members with bullet wounds. Also during the gun battle, one of the arrested armed suspects sustained a bullet injury on the thigh and was immediately taken to a hospital where he is currently receiving medical treatment.

The arrested suspects are currently undergoing interrogation, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing members of the criminal gang.

The Command reiterates its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents and urges members of the public to continue to provide useful information that will aid ongoing investigations.

Further developments will be communicated in due course.

Yes, you are the only one saying that "much crime been reported in Anambra State" and you are the only one that thinks there is a reason behind whatever you said. Better wake up from your sleep and go to hospital for malaria treatment. You didn't think about killings in the Northern part and Kwara state. You just want to drag Anambra State abi

@27 they are already engulfed in crime.

First it was S.A own on a Nigerian, now this. Na wa o

Hahahaha all this JuJu wey no dey work

If you want to hold anyone responsible hold obi cubana and pascal chief priest. They are the bad influence to our youths. They don't have any productive achievement rather than money ma water and their so called odogwu bitters
Look at that efulefu that calls himself Obi. He doesn't have any tangible production facility during his tenure as Governor rather than his brewery of alcohol. That is why these city boys don't value him.

Where is Trump when you need him

Upon all this charms
Nawawoooo

So this is locally made? Wonderful.

Just imagine the nonsense this pitiful being wrote.

Did you only just know about Obi Cubana?

Anambra the den of crime. Crime capital of Igbo people. Disgusting state of crime.

Anambra is a state of particular concern as far as insecurity is concerned.

With the way these other Africans always mock us online, you would think none of theirs are in Nigeria. I seriously condemn the atrocious act though, waiting for the law to take its full wrath on them..

2ndly, maybe olden days but, nowadays, charms/juju or whatever are less effective/potent. Some do it feeling invisible lol...

Pure lies, no be 9ja police again

Too bad. Why do people take pleasure in taking others' lives?
It is really sad. I pray that all involved get caught and brought to book.

It is FG that send people from Abuja to do it. Yes sir ree

Why are charms always dirty looking and irritating? Can't it be properly packaged? Likeeeeeee make it look at least appealing to the eyes

Are most ATR charms allergic to cleanliness?

That Boy who thinks he can be a president would never talk about this, but would rather prefer to address anything in South West
