The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 25-year-old man, Samuel Eze, found in possession of a freshly severed female breast, alongside three other suspects involved in a kidnapping and goods diversion scheme.
In a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the Command disclosed that Eze was apprehended by a joint patrol team comprising personnel of the Awada Police Division and the Anambra Vigilante Group. The arrest took place around 3:00 p.m. on Sunday along Jude Onyekwere Street, Awada, Obosi.
“He was arrested with a woman’s breast, which was recovered at the scene and deposited in the morgue for preservation. The suspect is currently undergoing interrogation as part of ongoing investigative and prosecutorial procedures,” Ikenga stated.
In a separate operation, operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), acting on actionable intelligence, rescued a kidnapped truck driver and recovered his consignment—custard powder valued at ₦9.5 million.
The driver, abducted on Saturday, was rescued unhurt. Ikenga said three suspects—Udegenyi Ugochukwu, 38; Anayochukwu Okonkwo, 47; and Good Odigili, 47—have been arrested in connection with the incident.
According to their confessions, the suspects hijacked the truck en route to a warehouse in Asaba, Delta State, abducted the driver, and tied him up in a bush before diverting the goods to Enugwu Ukwu.
SP Ikenga reiterated the Command’s resolve to ensure public safety and security, noting that intensified joint patrols involving the police, military, NSCDC, DSS, Immigration Service, and the Anambra Vigilante Group are ongoing across the state.
