He said the suspects, sometime in 2023, allegedly raped a married woman at Obinagu Abagana and fled the community when security operatives attempted to arrest them.
He further said, “Also on 6th June, 2024, the suspects broke into an apartment belonging to a young lady and raped her and her friend at gunpoint.
The criminals later forced one of the victims to transfer money to his account after they took turns of sex with them. Chukwuma and Micheal both confessed to the crime.”
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Itam, has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive investigation.
