A search conducted at the time of Nweke’s arrest led to the recovery of some of the stolen property, including jewelry, mobile phones, and large sums of cash. The suspect later led investigators to a hideout at Agbogba, where additional stolen items belonging to the complainant were retrieved.
Nweke’s arrest is a result of swift intelligence-led operations by the police. The CID has assured the public that efforts are ongoing to track down other suspects linked to the robbery. The suspects currently in custody, including Nweke, are assisting with investigations and will be put before the courts upon completion of the processes.
