Three (3) pump-action guns, ten (10) machetes, and other incriminating exhibits were recovered; while an intense manhunt for those on the run is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, *CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, psc (+)*, while commending the joint team, has reassured the security and safety of citizens as they go about their lawful businesses in the State. He reiterated the avowed commitment of the police and other security forces to sustain the onslaught against unrepentant violent criminals operating under any guise.
