One of the suspects, Amobi Okafor, aged forty-five, from Uruofolo Village, Nri, in Anaocha Local Government Area, was arrested last week for assaulting a seventy-one-year old security guard attached to a secondary school in the community, and for also cultivating marijuana at the school premises.
The second suspect a fifty-year-old Sunday Ezenwaka, from Oba in Idemili South Local Government Area, was apprehended for vandalizing and stealing iron roofing frames in a government building still under construction, opposite Anambra State Government Secretariat, Awka.
