UNN Student Arrested
For Robbery, Cultism

By Kelechukwu Iruoma

A

final year student of social
works department, University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
Ugwuanyi Ezinwanne (aka Floky),
has been arrested by the operatives
of Special Anti- Robbery Squad,
SARS, Enugu State Police Command for alleged armed robbery
and secret cult activities in the
university town of Nsukka while
two of his accomplices absconded.
The suspect, a native of AmaEziani, Achara community in
Nsukka Local Government Area,
Enugu State, was said to have been
terrorizing inhabitants of the town
along with two others now at large;
intimidating, harassing and robbing unsuspecting victims of their
valuables and cash at gun point.
The suspects had allegedly
stormed the premises of their
victim, who would not want his
name in print, and carted away a
plasma television, one play station and N3, 000 cash, while the
victim was out of the compound.
Following a report of the incident, operatives of the special anti-robbery squad swooped into
action and apprehended the suspect, while they recovered stolen
items from the suspect’s residence.
The spokesman of the Nigeria
Police, Enugu Police command,
DSP Ebere Amarizu, confirmed
the arrest of the final year student, adding that an intensive
manhunt for the fleeing suspects
had commenced in full scale.
DSP Amarizu noted that the suspect on interrogation confirmed
being a member of the Vikings confraternity, adding that he blamed
his arrest on his inability to give
up membership of the cult group.
