Abia State Police Command apprehended a 28-year-old man, Ugochukwu Precious, from Umuohia, Ogbor Hill, Aba, for alleged violent criminal activities and unlawful possession of firearms. The arrest came following a report of an unpaid iPhone 17 Pro Max. Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chinaka, stated that the suspect had obtained the phone through a payment-on-delivery arrangement in April 2026 but failed to pay.
The situation escalated when the suspect allegedly threatened the seller and used thugs. Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, after leveraging actionable intelligence, apprehended the suspect, who made confessional statements. A pump-action shotgun was recovered from him. Investigations are ongoing, and other gang members at large are expected to be arrested soon.
The suspect would be charged in court after the investigation. The Commissioner of Police urged the public to remain law-abiding and provide timely information for crime prevention.
