The suspect who was paraded in Calabar at the Cross River State Command of the Nigeria Police Force operates with cartel criminals who together are involved in selling police hardware and arms to criminals in far away Imo State.
Confessing to the alleged crime, Inspector Manasseh, whom the Police said has not been able to account for some pieces of hardware including two AK-47s, said he lost some rifles while claiming that he was charmed and dispossessed of some AK-47s, including a vehicle.
“I was charmed, I can’t really explain what happened and how they dispossessed me of the rifles. I am not a gun runner,” he said.
CP Sikiru Akande, the State Commissioner of Police while parading the suspects disclosed that since the new Commander of Anti Kidnapping and Cultism Squad (AKCTS) resumed office, there has been a harvest of criminals.
According to CP Akande: “Cross River is regaining her lost glory in the area of security and as a matter of fact, we remain the most peaceful state in Nigeria and nothing can break our resolve.
