After the raid, some suspects were apprehended and are helping police to conduct investigation into the matter. It was difficult to confirm the number of persons apprehended but the figure ranged from five to eight suspects.
When contacted for confirmation, the state police PRO, Vitalis Onugu, disclosed that it would be difficult to give account of the number since investigation on the case is an ongoing issue. “I cannot tell you the actual figure, police is investigating the matter. In the course of investigation, somebody can be arrested as a suspected, any body that has nothing to do with the matter shall be left off the hook, anybody found wanting will be charged to court,” the police spokesman added.
