Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command have arrested a 26-year-old suspected armed robber and recovered a locally-made pistol.
The command said the arrest followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen in Obollo Etiti in the Udenu Local Government Area of the state.
The suspect, Chekwube Agbo, was apprehended on August 10, 2026, after policemen received credible intelligence about his suspicious activities at a hotel where he had gone to secure accommodation.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said officers responded to the information and searched the suspect’s bag, leading to the recovery of the firearm and one cartridges.
“The suspect’s bag was searched, leading to the recovery of the locally made pistol and live cartridge. The suspect was immediately arrested and taken into custody alongside the recovered exhibits,” he added.
