He said the Command on June 20 arrested one Anosike Chimobi (28) of Umuedo Obohia in Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area who confessed to be among IPOB/ESN members that murdered Gulak on May 30,2021.

According to him, Anosike who was also involved in the burning of Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise, Ezinihitte Mbaise, Ihitte-Uboma and Obowo police stations, confessed to be among the IPOB/ESN terrorists who attacked the onions’ truck at Enyiogwugwu junction, Aboh Mbaise LGA shortly after killing Gulak.

Interacting with newsmen, Anosike confessed that some politicians were behind some of their crimes in the State.

“Sometimes the politicians will come and meet our commander, Ebube Uche Madu aka virus but our leader will drive us away each they come to discuss with him,” he said.
