Operatives of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) of the Nigeria Police Force in Anambra State have arrested 17 male suspects allegedly linked to cult-related activities and other acts considered inimical to public morality.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Tochukwu Ikenga, said on Sunday that acting on credible information, the suspects were traced to a hideout in Awka where they were apprehended.
According to the PPRO, items recovered from them include some dried leaves suspected to be Cannabis Sativa, containers of petroleum jelly, condoms, and other exhibits considered relevant to the ongoing investigation.
