The Anambra State Police Command has uncovered and disrupted an alleged plot to murder a citizen and unlawfully take over his landed properties in Ukwulu, Dunukofia Local Government Area, following a strategic intelligence-led operation initiated by the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, psc, mnips.
The State Command’s Spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga said the breakthrough was recorded on the evening of August 12, 2026, when operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu, in collaboration with Agunechemba security personnel attached to Amichi, Nnewi, acting on credible intelligence, swiftly moved to disrupt the alleged criminal plot.
The operation resulted in the arrest of four suspects identified as Obiora Nwankwo, 38; Chiadikobi Okoye, 36; Emmanuel Mboko, 42; and Ifeanyi Obi, 37.
The police said the suspects were arrested at different locations in Ukwulu and Amichi.
The report said two firearms and live ammunition were also recovered during the operation.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects were allegedly linked to a plot to murder a citizen and subsequently take over his landed properties.
The Command, however, said it is conducting a thorough investigation to unravel the full circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy, identify other persons who may be connected to the plot and establish the specific roles allegedly played by each suspect.
The suspects are currently in police custody and will be made to face the full weight of the law upon the conclusion of investigations.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama, emphasized that the breakthrough underscores the importance of the Command’s renewed intelligence-led policing strategy, which is aimed at detecting criminal threats early, disrupting planned attacks and preventing the loss of lives and property.
