The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Harunna Muhammed, confirming the arrest, said the suspect jumped from three storey hotel building and since then, he was elusive and all efforts to get him rearrested was futile.

According to Mohammed, on Saturday at about 1:30pm, following an intelligent report, Police detectives attached to the Command’s Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) arrested the suspect at his hideout at Anaku in Anyamelum Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He also said his case was still under investigation after which he would be charged to Court for prosecution.
