The Akwa Ibom Police Command arrested an armed robbery suspect in Uyo Metropolis and recovered a locally fabricated firearm during a stop-and-search operation. The suspect was apprehended near the Mayflower axis on Oron Road after a distress call from a resident in Ikot Okubo reported suspicious activity. Police collaborated with local community members to conduct the operation, during which the suspect was detained and the weapon was seized. Other members of the criminal group reportedly fled the scene, prompting a manhunt by authorities. The police stated they would investigate the suspect's role in the alleged crimes and work to dismantle the broader criminal network.
