According to the police commissioner, the suspect confessed to being involved in three armed robbery operations across the state and gave the names of his partners in crime.

Some items discovered on him include a pump action gun and seven cartridges.

Adeleke stated that he further led the police to the gang’s armoury, where two other pump action guns, four double-barreled guns, one single-barreled gun, one air gun, 274 cartridges, two bulletproof jackets and four bullet holders were recovered.

Meanwhile, the 80-year-old armourer, Udenmba, from Eskusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State, has confessed to the crime.

“Udenmba also confessed to the crime and admitted being in charge of servicing of the gang’s firearms and also supplying them with ammunition. The armourer said he did not manufacture guns, but was repairing, buying and selling arms and ammunition. The team is intensifying efforts towards arresting the other fleeing gang members,” the CP assured.
