The Akwa Ibom State Police Command raided a compound posing as a church at 6:00 am on April 8, 2026. They arrested seven suspects—four men and three women—after acting on credible intelligence of criminal operations under a religious cover. Officers recovered two locally made double-barrel guns, five spent cartridges, motorcycles, generators, mobile phones, a police crest, jungle boots, machetes, a special forces vest and bottles of suspected spiritual oil during the search. The Commissioner of Police has ordered a thorough investigation and vowed that criminals will find no hiding place.
