Men of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Imo State Police Command, have taken into custody, a retired police officer, for his alleged involvement in armed robbery.

According to Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adisa Bolanta in Owerri, the Ex-police officer was caught red handed when he broke into the home of his victim, armed with a loaded locally made double barrel gun.

Bolanta said, “The retired police officer, who resides in Owerri, was arrested on December 29, 2012. His supposed
victim disarmed him and quickly raised alarm that attracted his neighbours.”

He added that some other suspects, Kin Enyim from Ebonyi State, his colleagues in crime, Dan Ogbonna and Ikechukwu Nzelobi were also arrested for being in possession of illegal firearm in the state.

“The trio were in a yellow tricycle when a thorough search was conducted on them following a credible tip off. A locally pistol and five rounds of live cartridges were found on them,” Bolantan said.
