Others were – Chukwudi Okpara, Maxwell Ishiguzo Christian Ndiogulu, and Chibuike Uyamadu.

The police commissioner said: “Following recent attacks on policemen by suspected members of outlawed IPOB in Asaba, the command’s sustained efforts in the investigation of the attacks and snatching of police rifles and ammunition in the state yielded desired results when some principal suspects with a strong link to the proscribed IPOB were arrested and they made confessional statements.
