The police detectives in Agbor Delta State
have arrested a 23 year-old man Ndidi Emmanuel and a secondary school drop-out
for allegedly robbing pedestrians in the area. Confirming the arrest of the
suspects, the Police Image Maker in the State, Mr. Andrew Aniamaka, said the
secondary school drop-out, Chuks Okpehoro as the ring leader in accomplice with
others at present at large, had harassed and robbed several persons along Sunny
Ojougboh area before they were identified and picked up in a church (name
withheld) during an all-night on Thursday.
The Police Image Maker disclosed
that the suspects upon interrogation confessed to the crimes, adding that they
are still being detained for further investigation. It was reliably gathered
that Emmanuel a native of Ohunmere Quarters, Agbor, and a Ghana returnee was a
bus driver before his failed adventure to Ghana, while Chuks, 23 years old
hails from Ohunmere too and a school drop-out alleged that Emma invited him to
the scene of the crime Sunny Ohougboh area during nightfall. Speaking to
journalists yesterday in Asaba on the arrest of the suspects, the chairman
Agbor, Gha Ihun Vigilante, Mr. Fidelis Omoile expressed appreciation to members
of the public for their support, and called on the youths in Ika South Local
Government area of the state to stay away from crime and violence as there is
no hiding place for criminals.
In another development, a suspected agent of
Benin Electricity Development Company (BEDC), Nwuzor Fred, has been charged
before an Asaba Chief Magistrates Court for allegedly defrauding one Mr. Ugwuja
Cyril of the sum of N50, 000. The prosecutor said the 40-year old Fred
allegedly obtained the money under the false pretense of supplying the victim a
prepaid meter, which was false.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Blessing
Kafor, said the accused also allegedly forged prepaid meter receipt, which is an
offence punishable under section 467 of the criminal code cap. c21 Vol. I Laws
of the Delta State of Nigeria, 2006. When the charges were read, Fred pleaded
not guilty and the trial Chief Magistrate, Mr. F.I Dikeh of Court 1, Asaba,
granted him a bail in the sum of N300, 000.00.
