The Anambra State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers, Okafor Stanley and Benedith Sunday, who specialised in snatching tricycles, popularly known as Keke.
According to a statement by the command’s spokesman, Haruna Mohammed, 19-year-old Stanley and 21-year-old Sunday were arrested by police operatives attached to Central Police Station, Awka, and local vigilante group on Monday.
