Security operatives in Abia state have apprehended a notorious gang of armed robbers who murdered a couple in the state.
The notorious armed robbery gang
A notorious armed robber identified as Kingsley Emezue alias Pakins
alongside his gang members Enyinna Asiegbu (25) and Promise Sunday
Obilor a.k.a Esere (26), have been apprehended for reportedly killing a
couple before their three children in Abia state.
Abia State’s Police Commissioner, Ene Okon told newsmen that the
arrested suspects were connected to Sampson Iheukwumere Nwokocha a.k.a
Grave, a notorious robber killed in December by the police.
He said the suspects who initially relocated after their gang
leader was killed, returned to Umuahia in January 2020 after they
thought the manhunt for them has been called off.
“The gang seemed to have gone on holidays to enjoy their loots
and resurfaced around January 10, 2020, in what seems like recouping of
expenses made during the Yuletides. The six-man gang on January 25,
2020, operating in a tricycle, snatched a Toyota Sienna van with
registration number RBC477RL, along Health Center Road in World Bank
Housing Estate, Umuahia.
“The gang, while operating in a Sienna van, shot and killed a
couple, Mr and Mrs Darlington Chinyere Uzoma, along Secretariat Road,
Ogwurube Layout, Umuahia. This was after robbing them of proceeds of the
day’s sales.
“They robbed and shot Basil Okechukwu of Obowo, Imo State, on
January 16, around Post Office Umuahia Road. Okechukwu was killed while
on transit with the money he withdrew from bank.
“Officers from the Central Police Station, Umuahia and
operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on ‘Operation Puff
Adder’ went after the hoodlums and intercepted a tricycle conveying two
of the hoodlums named Precious Chukwuebuka Okoro and Ogbonna
Ifeanyichukwu Justice. Interrogation of the duo resulted in the
subsequent arrest of the other members of the gang namely; Enyinna
Asiegbu (25), Promise Sunday Obilor (26) aka Esere and Emezue Kingsley
(20) aka Pakins.”
Emezue introduced himself as a butcher when questioned by newsmen
and also disclosed that he was lured into armed robbery by bad friends.
He said: “We did the robbery operation actually on Saturday night, but I did not shoot the couple. It was our driver that shot them.”
