One male suspect,  was arrested on August 8, 2024, around 4.30 a.m., by the 

Enugu State Police Command Operatives on wednesday, arrested and arraigned one, Aliyu Saad in the Enugu North Magistrate Court and later remanded him in the Correctional Custodial Centre Enugu, pending further hearing. 

 The Police Public Relations Officer Enugu State Command headquarters Daniel Ndukwe said that the suspect was arrested for allegedly uprooting and stealing a streetlight pole at New Artisan, Enugu, following the operatives’ swift response to credible information on the criminal act.

This operational feat is coming on the heels of the marching orders issued to police operatives of the Command, by the Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu,  to clamp down on unrepentant criminal elements, including those hell-bent on vandalizing public infrastructures in Enugu State.

The CP charges the operatives to sustain the tempo, urging citizens of the State to continue to be law-abiding, vigilant and promptly report criminals and their activities to the nearest Police Station.
