Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command have arrested a suspected armed robber who disguised himself in a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniform to evade security checks.
The Command’s spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Monday that the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Chinecherem Ugwuagu, was arrested on October 11 along the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway.
He said police officers attached to the Safer Highway Patrol intercepted Ugwuagu while he was escaping on a robbed Carter motorcycle.
Recovered from him were a gun-like object made from a lotion container, clothes, a bank ATM card, and other items.
According to Ndukwe, investigations revealed that the suspect earlier that morning broke into a victim’s home at 9th Mile in Udi Local Government Area.
