Men of the State Security Service (SSS) have arrested six
members of a car-snatching gang in Anambra State.
The Anambra state Director of SSS, Alex Okeiyi, who paraded
the suspects on Wednesday, said two of the robbers, Nworah Ibe and Levi Kelechi Eze,
were arrested while attempting to snatch a Honda car from its owner in
Ajaokuta, Lokoja, Kogi state.
According to him, the two suspects had confessed to the act,
which later led to the arrest of other four members of the gang- Joseph Igboji,
James Ukoh, Titus Okwudili Duruaku and Victor Ndubuisi.
He said Ukoh and Igboji (alias Onye-Owa), both natives of
south-eastern Ebonyi State, were arrested at Nkpor, Idemili North Local
Government area of the state in collaboration with men of the Action Eagle
Security Solution Limited.
Also, Victor Ndubuisi and Titus Okwudili Duruaku were apprehended
for allegedly purchasing a Toyota Highlander jeep with Registration Number
Abuja BW851RSH and a Honda Accord car with Registration Number Anambra FGG 918
AG respectively from the suspected robbers, despite knowing that they were
stolen.
The suspect told different stories to justify their
involvement in the crime.
Nworah, who said he had previously served jail term for
crime, confessed to have been snatching cars for the past five years, while
Ukoh claimed that he was lured into the crime by Kelechi by putting up with him
without disclosing the nature of his job.
The SSS state director said the suspects would be charged to
court soon.
