The Enugu State Police Command has continued its proactive crime-fighting operations, recording significant successes in two separate raids that led to the arrest of three male suspects and the recovery of weapons, ammunition, and illegal drugs.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the development in a statement issued to newsmen in Enugu on Sunday
According to the statement, on January 19, 2026, operatives of the Anti-Cultism Tactical Squad, acting on credible intelligence, apprehended two male suspects, Mba Emmanuel (a.k.a. Indomie) and Onukwube Nnam (a.k.a. Nwa Amodu), at Awkunanaw in Enugu South Local Government Area.
The suspects admitted membership of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity, with Mba identified as the head and executioner of the unlawful group in Enugu South Local Government Area as of December 2025.
During the operation, officers recovered one pump-action gun, a locally fabricated Beretta-type pistol, 31 live cartridges, a large wrap of suspected cannabis sativa, one HP laptop, and a motorcycle.
In a related operation on January 31, 2026, police raided criminal hideouts in the Agbani axis, arresting eight suspects.
