Police Operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Awkuzu, on July 7, 2025, arrested a male suspect, Chukwujekwu Micheal Okoye a.k.a Bus-Stop, aged 25 years old.
The arrest is a follow-up to the disturbing incident at Oko which records the injury of about two persons, murder of two persons and abduction of two others who were later released after ransom was paid early last month at the Total and Tipper Junctions respectively, all in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area.
A statement by the Police Spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed that the Operatives also recovered one automatic pump-action gun and two handsets.
It would be recalled that the suspect in the early hours of May 22, 2025, robbed a victim of his handset and other valuables at gunpoint in Oko. He confessed to being an active member of the Aye Confraternity Cult group and currently holding a position as a Lord.
