This was disclosed by SACS Commander in the state, Mr Bako Gado yesterday while addressing newsmen in his office at Enugwu Ukwu,adding that the suspects were mostly arrested in Obosi, Nkpor, Ogidi, Ihiala and Awka before their arraignment in court.

He expressed satisfaction that with the co-operation of the people in the state, expecting that criminal activities would be curtailed within the shortest possible time, adding that Governor Willie Obiano had through the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Karma Hosea, been giving assistance to the police in the state, and the Command has been receiving enormous assistance from the government in the state to flush out criminals.

On the leadership crisis rocking Otoko Isuaniocha community, Awka North local Government Area, in which one  Chief Anthony Onyeagolu accused the police of being biased in investigating the crisis, he urge Otoko Isuaniocha community to make peace in their area instead of accusing the police that has stepped in to ensure peace.

Chief Onyeagolu had also accused the Police in the state of extorting money from detained Otoko people, but the SACS Commander regretted that some enemies of progress in the community that are self-centered have continued to peddle false allegations against the command, adding that they want the crisis to continue so they can hold the community hostage, by fomenting trouble aimed at enriching themselves, since they thrive in crises at the detriment of innocent people.
