According to Ikenga, the operatives’ swift reaction followed a report by the mother of the victims, that one of her children came and narrated to her how an unknown person had taken away two of his siblings on their way to her shop along Nwafor Junction, Eziora, Ozubulu.
During the interrogation of the suspects, Onyedika admitted to the crime and took the operatives to Oba, where he had already handed over the children to Onuwa for the continuation of their criminal plan.
The police spokesman further said that the command had expanded the investigations for the arrest of the other members of the syndicate. (NAN)
