“The Akwa Ibom State Police Command, on 18/1/2021, relying on credible information, that a Lexus 330 salon car was bought with fake bank alert at Festac town, Lagos state, trailed the said car to Uyo via Abia state and in a coordinated operation, and utilizing the instruments of intelligence-driven policing by the anti- cultism unit of the command, arrested one Emeka John Akuma, ‘m’ of Abia state, along IBB road by Ibom Hall, driving the car with a fake number plate; Lagos AKD 230 GQ and recovered the said vehicle,” the statement reads.
