Police Arrest Gunman, Recover AK-47 Rifle In Anambra by ManirBK: 7:58pm On Apr 01
Operatives of the anti-crime squad of the Anambra State Police
Command have arrested a man from whom they also recovered an
AK-47 rifle.
The team intercepted the man in Awada community of Idemili
North Local Government Area of the state while carrying a bag, on
Sunday.
The man, on sighting the police team, took to his heels and was
chased until he was caught and overpowered by the personnel.
When the bag was searched, it was found to contain an AK-47 Rifle
with breech No. 25008266.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Ikenga Tochukwu who
narrated the incident in a statement in Awka said “a search of
database has shown that the (recovered AK-47 rifle) was not
among firearms on charge to Anambra State Command.”
He stated that on interrogation, the suspect which he did not
disclose his identity confessed that the weapon was procured for a
showdown with a rival cult group.


Commissioner of Police in the State, CP Aderemi Adeoye, has
commended members of the squad for the recovery and their
vigilance and tenacity of purpose.
Adeoye has directed that the investigation be widened and
deepened to bring to book all those connected with the arms
trafficking, including an alleged financier abroad who provided
funds for the purchase.
The CP also directed all personnel in Command to re-dedicate
themselves to crime prevention and detection to better serve the
people in the state.

Something is fishy about this report. Is it that you did not ask for his name or you did but he was stubborn? Even the alleged cult groups are not named?

I am also surprised that you didn't label the suspect an IPOB member. But I am sure that misguided commenters like the one above will do it well for you here.
