Akwa Ibom State police command has arrested an artisan, one Ekike Hector David, for allegedly manufacturing AK-47 rifles and selling them to criminals in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement by the state police commissioner Mr Amiengheme  Andrew, released by the command\u2019 spokesman, Odiko MacDon (SP), said about 1 pm on September 13, 2021, a surveillance team of \u2018A\u2019 Division located at Barracks  Road, Uyo, while on routine stop and search operation to stem criminal activities along Uyo Village Road and environs, arrested the suspect who hails from of Mbiokporo 1 in Nsit Ibom LGA with eight locally fabricated AK 47 Rifles, one pump action, one pistol and six 6 dane guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPreliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is a welder who specializes in making and selling locally made rifles and other types of guns to criminal elements who use same in terrorising innocent members of the  Public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Commissioner of Police, Amiengheme Andy, has ordered for an elaborate investigation aimed at arresting those who enjoy his patronage and other conspirators.\u201d The statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also disclosed  August, 2021, the police relying on information received from one Mfon Francis, arrested one Akan Jimmy Umoh and his wife Rita Jimmy Umoh of Ekpat Iduot village in Abak LGA,  for allegedly conspiring and poisoning to death her stepson, one Master Savior Jimmy Umoh, a 10 year old boy, on the allegation of witchcraft.
\u201cDetectives of Abak Division swiftly responded and arrested the duo of Akan and Rita Jimmy Umoh who are father and step-mother of the deceased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn interrogation, suspects confessed to have administered poisonous concoction called \u201cevil beans\u201d on the child to remove witchcraft, which they, according to prophecy, claimed was the cause of their economic misfortunes and health challenges including the poor academic performance of his half-siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA search in the house revealed a boldly written inscription on the wall by the step-mother, \u2018Saviour is the witch of this house.\u2019 Photographs were taken while  the corpse was removed and deposited in the mortuary for autopsy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police gave the assurance that the perpetrators of those crimes would be prosecuted even as the commissioner of police has called on members of the public to be vigilant and do well in giving the police and sister security agencies timely information to assist in curbing crimes and criminality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
