According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, December 3, by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, operatives attached to the Obosi Police Division swung into action immediately after intercepting the video on December 2, 2025.

The police spokesperson also disclosed that a firearm and a cutlass were recovered from the suspect during the arrest, further strengthening the case against him.
He added that preliminary observations indicate the suspect may require professional medical evaluation, noting that appropriate procedures are being followed in line with operational guidelines.
“To this end, the case is being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Awka, for comprehensive investigation and detailed analysis of all information already obtained about the incident,” the PPRO said.
In an interview with this reporter, the Police Spokesman assured the public that further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses, while emphasising the Command’s commitment to sustaining peace, law, and public safety across the state.
