Ikenga further disclosed that the hoodlums had disrupted trading at the market in the area, the previous Monday, ordering traders to sit at home.

“This drew attention of the Security Apparatus in the State which made the State Police Command to decide on giving them a taste of their own medicine in the early hours of Monday 19th February, 2024.

“The operation which was hugely successful led to the recovery of five exotix vehicles previously snatched at gun point.
Also recovered were over 300 rounds of Machine Gun Ammunition and 34 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition for Ak-47 Rifle.
