The Enugu State Police Command says it has arrested two suspects, including an alleged military impersonator and a suspected cult member, in separate operations across the state.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said the arrests were carried out by operatives of the Command’s Department of Operations during routine patrols in Enugu.

In the first operation on 26 April 2026 at about 11:00 a.m., operatives arrested Victory Chinecherem Chukwuebuka Anyegbulam, also known as “Aye Sir Alhaji Seun Usman Danfodio” (male, aged 20), at Naira Triangle along Abakaliki Road, Enugu.

A search conducted on him reportedly led to the recovery of one cut-to-size gun, two live cartridges, and a substance suspected to be cannabis. The suspect allegedly confessed to being a member of the Neo Black (Aye) Confraternity.

In a separate operation on 23 April 2026 at about 1:42 p.m., police arrested Uzondu Chiemezie Emmanuel (male, aged 34) along Unity Estate/Loma Linda Road, Enugu.
A locally fabricated Beretta-like pistol was recovered from him. 

The Command said the suspect initially claimed to be a serving member of the Nigerian Air Force but later admitted during interrogation that he had been dismissed from service.

The Commissioner of Police, Bitrus Giwa, has reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to ridding Enugu State of criminal elements and maintaining public safety.

He urged residents to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and to support the police with credible and timely information.

The Command said investigations are ongoing, and the suspects will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
