Three Arrested as Enugu Police Recover Guns and Ammunition in Separate Raids

The Enugu State Police Command detained an alleged firearm repairer and two others for unlawful possession of weapons, ammunition and suspected cultism. Officers recovered three locally made guns, six live cartridges and a motorcycle during operations in Nsukka and 9th Mile. On May 19, operatives on stop-and-search duty along the Nsukka–Enugu road intercepted a 23-year-old suspect with a loaded homemade pistol. The man claimed he was repairing the weapon for its owner. Later that day, the Distress Response Squad stopped a motorcycle with three riders on Abor/Nsukka Old Road. Two passengers fled, but a 27-year-old man was arrested with a fabricated revolver and four live cartridges. He admitted he and his accomplices were heading to a secret cult gathering. In a separate May 15 operation at Amaenu Edem, Nsukka, officers recovered another pistol, ammunition and tools from a bag abandoned by a fleeing rider. The suspect was traced and detained the next day. The command says investigations are ongoing and urges residents to provide credible information to security agencies.
