Police in Anambra State have arrested an 18 years old man,
Anichede Akachukwu, AKA Star B, who is said to be a notorious cultist and
leader of a armed robbery gang.
A statement by the spokesperson of the Anambra State Police
Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the suspect is notorious for conducting
robberies in Asaba, Delta State, and Ogbaru in Anambra.
He was said to have been arrested while being treated for a
gunshot injury he sustained during an operation, in which he had a shoot out
with police operatives.
Parts of the statement read: “We announce the arrest on
17/5/2024 of a notorious and most wanted cultist and armed robber in Uruagu
village, Oba, Idemili South LGA.
“The suspect, Anichede Akachukwu ‘M’ 18 years A.K.A Star B
is a confessed leader of Vikings Secret Cult Confraternity and armed gang
terrorizing Ogbaru LGA and Asaba in Delta State.
“His arrest is following a tip-off of intelligence gathered
as he was receiving treatment in their den from a bullet wound sustained in
their encounter with police operatives in Asaba.
“The suspects have provided police with information on their
mode of operations and names of other gang members which is already aiding the
ongoing investigation.”
Ikenga said operatives of the Command, in a different
operation at Okija, Ihiala LGA, recovered a white Porsche Cayenne Jeep with Reg
Nos: AGL 60 HJ Lagos, which he said is suspected to be an operational vehicle
of secessionists.
He said: “During a search of the vehicle, the operatives
found a bag and discovered 27 pieces of live 7.62m ammunition, three live
cartridges, one-touch light, charms, and other incriminating items
“The CP has charged operatives to sustain the tempo and
direct continuous onslaught to weed out all the criminal elements and reduce
crime to barest minimum in the State.”
