They were arrested at a hotel along Works Layout in Owerri. One locally-made pistol, a double-barrelled pistol with three unexpended and one expended cartridges were recovered. The suspects are Richard Ikenna from Owerri Municipal and Simon Ekani, from Rivers State.” he said

The commissioner of police said once investigation is completed, the suspects would be arraigned in court.
