The Anambra State Police Command has foiled an alleged plot to murder a citizen and take over his landed properties in Ukwulu, Dunukofia Local Government Area, arresting four suspects and recovering two firearms and live ammunition.
The Command disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday by its Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, saying the operation followed intelligence gathered through the intelligence-led policing strategy of the Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Oji Ama.
According to the statement, operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu, working with Agunechemba security personnel attached to Amichi, Nnewi, moved in on the evening of August 12, 2026, following credible intelligence and disrupted the alleged plot.
The four suspects arrested were identified as Obiora Nwankwo, 38; Chiadikobi Okoye, 36; Emmanuel Mboko, 42; and Ifeanyi Obi, 37.
The suspects were arrested at different locations in Ukwulu and Amichi during the operation.

“Preliminary investigation indicates that the suspects were allegedly linked to a plot to murder a citizen and subsequently take over his landed properties,” the statement said.
The Command said investigations were ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the alleged conspiracy, identify other persons who may have been involved and determine the specific roles allegedly played by each of the suspects.
The suspects remain in police custody and will be prosecuted upon the conclusion of investigations.
The Commissioner of Police said the operation demonstrated the importance of the Command’s renewed intelligence-led policing strategy.
He said the strategy was designed to “detect criminal threats early, disrupt planned attacks and prevent the loss of lives and property.”
The Command assured residents that it would continue to strengthen intelligence gathering and proactive operations to prevent criminal activities across the state.
