The Enugu State Police Command has arrested a 28-year-old male suspect, Michael Ayisa, for allegedly robbing a female Point-of-Sale, POS, operator of N200,000 at gunpoint.
The arrest was confirmed in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, on 25th October, 2026.
According to the statement, Police Operatives attached to Udenu Division, supported by members of the Neighbourhood Watch Group, arrested the suspect at Obollo-Afor, Udenu Local Government Area.
This followed a report that he had robbed the victim at her shop along Old Orba Road, Uhulor, Obollo-Afor in Udenu LGA, on 17th October, 2026, at about 9:00 a.m.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim raised the alarm as the suspect fled, allegedly threatening to shoot anyone pursuing him. Operatives recovered a Beretta-like pistol and an expended 9mm ammunition shell from him.
The suspect confessed to the crime during interrogation.
The statement added that the suspect will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of investigations.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, has commended the operatives for the successful operation and acknowledged the complementary support provided by the Neighbourhood Watch Group. He reiterated the Command’s commitment to combating crime and urged residents to promptly report suspicious activities to the police and other recognised security agencies.
