Dismissed Nigerian Soldier, Seven Others Arrested in Enugu Over Armed Robbery


The Enugu State Police Command in Nigeria has successfully dismantled a notorious interstate criminal syndicate involved in armed robbery and fraud activities. 
This was confirmed in a statement issued by the command, highlighting a breakthrough in its relentless efforts to curb criminal activities in the state and its environs.

Among those apprehended is a dismissed soldier, whose role within the syndicate has raised concerns about the misuse of military expertise in criminal enterprises. The arrests followed weeks of intelligence-driven investigations, surveillance, and coordinated operations by the police force.

The syndicate, comprising eight individuals, was reportedly responsible for a series of high-profile armed robberies and fraudulent schemes targeting unsuspecting victims across multiple states. According to law enforcement authorities, the group’s operations included sophisticated planning, the use of firearms, and deceptive tactics aimed at defrauding their victims of significant sums of money and valuables.

The Enugu State Commissioner of Police commended the operatives for their dedication and professionalism, which led to the successful apprehension of the suspects. He assured the public that the command remains resolute in its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents.

Recovered during the operation were firearms, ammunition, stolen items, and materials linked to their fraudulent activities. The police noted that investigations are ongoing to uncover additional accomplices and recover more stolen assets.

This development has drawn attention to the broader issue of dismissed military personnel engaging in unlawful activities. Security experts have called for stricter monitoring and rehabilitation programs for ex-service personnel to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

The suspects are currently in custody and will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations. The police command has also urged citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to law enforcement agencies promptly.

The arrest of this syndicate underscores the Enugu State Police Command’s commitment to maintaining law and order, as well as its determination to bring perpetrators of crime to justice.

Following his release from prison for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced former Paralympian track star, has resurfaced after eight years.  Now 37 years old, Pistorius served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013. During his trial, Pistorius claimed that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar when he fired shots through a closed bathroom door in the middle of the night. However, prosecutors argued that he knew it was Steenkamp on the other side because they had just had an argument, and he witnessed her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. Recently, images captured by South African news site Netwerk24 show Pistorius with a wide grin on his face, but he appears a mere shadow of his former self.
