Car snatching Suspect, Sunday Ogwa
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Police operatives serving in the Enugu State Command’s Awkunanaw Police Division have smashed a car-snatching and stealing syndicate.
The team acting on credible information arrested one male suspect, Sunday Ogwa (male) aged 27.
Operatives also recovered a light blue-coloured Lexus 330 Jeep that the suspect and cohorts at large snatched at gunpoint from their female victim (names withheld), in Uwani Enugu, at about 8.10 p.m. on September 28.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, in a press statement, on Tuesday in Enugu, said: “The suspect, a native of Obubra in Cross River State, confessed to the crime, stating that his cohorts invited him from Anambra State to join them in snatching and stealing vehicles in Enugu metropolis. The suspect will be arraigned in court upon completion of the investigation.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, has hailed the efforts of the operatives and for quickly adjusting his operational policing strategies, while reemphasizing the unwavering commitment of the Police to sustain the onslaught against unrepentant criminals in Enugu State.
