Police Operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad/Anti-Kidnapping unit acting on credible information on 25th April 2025 busted a criminal Camp at Osumoghu Isieke Village, Ihiala LGA. They arrested one Ewulu Chikwo ‘m’ aged 35 years. The suspect and his gang members were allegedly planning to enforce illegal Sit-At-Home in the area the following Monday.
During the interrogation of the Suspect, he confessed to being a member of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and also among the armed criminals that attacked the Ukpor Divisional Police Headquarters in the year 2022 where a Policewoman, Inspector Stella Maris was gruesomely murdered.
