The police command in Akwa Ibom State has arrested three suspected criminals for murdering two persons alleged to be members of a cult group from Eyo-Abasi in the Mbo Local Government Area.

The Commissioner of Police, Joseph Eribo, disclosed this in a press conference held at the command’s headquarters in Uyo.

He stated that the suspects allegedly went into hiding in a ravine in the village after committing the offence.

However, based on intelligence, operatives from the command apprehended them on 16 October 2024.

The CP added that on October 17, the command caught two suspects who stole a Jenbei Hiase bus parked at Akpa Ube Street in Uyo due to a minor mechanical fault by the owner.

The police traced the suspects to Mechanic Village along Abak Road in Uyo where the suspects had dismantled the bus into pieces.

Eribo added that on October 6, operatives of the command also arrested four suspected armed robbers with firearms along Idoro Road in Uyo metropolis.

According to CP, all the suspects would be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.

He warned criminally minded individuals to reconsider and refrain from crimes as the state was no longer safe for their nefarious activities.

The CP  appealed to residents of Akwa Ibom to volunteer credible information on criminals living within their communities to the police for prompt action to keep the state safe.
