Enugu: Criminal Suspects Make Shocking Confessions About Robberies

The Enugu State Police Command, Wednesday, paraded 31 criminal suspects for various offences, ranging from murder, cultism, armed robbery to car snatching.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, said the suspects would soon be prosecuted.

Some of the suspects made confessions about their crimes to the police.

Anthony Emmanuel Onuora, 39, a native of Agbogugu in Awagu Local Government Area, and one Anthony Okeh, 37, a native of Affa Village in Udi LGA, from Enugu State belonged to a gang that snatched a Toyota Camry car carrying the sum of N1, 850, 000.00 at WAEC bus stop, Independence Layout, Enugu.

Onuorah, a father of four, who works as driver in the company that owned the car, confessed to have informed his friend, Okeh, a pork dealer at Coal Camp, Enugu, to arrange his gang to attack the car, having gotten the hint that the money would be conveyed to a certain location at that time.

Onuorah said: “I didn’t steal my Oga’s vehicle. I don’t even know those that carried out the robbery. But I revealed to Okeh that the car would carry the money, and asked him to get boys who can rob it. They shared the money and I did not collect because my conscience was paining me. I regretted my action.”

Nnaji Chukwuebuka aka Sky, aged 27, of Ibagwa Nike, Enugu East LGA is a cultist and former head of the Supreme Vikings Confraternity.

He was earlier arrested in October 2019 and while in custody, he faked illness and was granted bail and placed under police supervision. But in January 2020, he re-organised his cult group and started forcefully initiating young boys.

In his confession, he said: “We were initiating one guy when they caught me. I’m not a thief. I am regretting my actions. I advise those still members to repent because there is no gain. I have repented.”
