The Anambra State Police Command has arrested two suspected cultists operating around Ihiala area of the state.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga,identified the suspects as one Chitana Oha, male, 25 years, alias “Kill and Bury”, and Emmanuel Ifeanyi Okonkwo, 24 years, Alias “Good and Bad”.
Ikenga said the suspects were two ring leaders of the cult groups responsible for killings in Ihiala recently.
According to him, the duo were nabbed in a special operation spearheaded by the “Police Crack Squad” deployed to Ihiala by the Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, to provide security for the people of Ihiala during and after the festive period.
The PPRO said both suspects were arrested at their hideout in Okija within the same Local Governments Area.
“The Anambra Commissioner of Police, has vowed to end the cult-related killings in Ihiala, the same way he stamped out the menace in Awka Capital City.
“The CP has directed the crack squad to go all out against the cultists and clip their wings,” he said.
Ikenga quoted Adeoye as assuring members of the public that their security would continue to be the top most priority of the Command while urging them to provide information where necessary.
