A suspect, Ebenezer Ojeh who claims to be a Police Sergeant has been arrested by troops in Borno State with a cache of dangerous weapons found in his possession.
It is understood that Ojeh was flagged for exhibiting suspicious behaviour when the commercial bus he boarded was stopped at a military checkpoint.

Though the suspect claimed to be a Police Sergeant serving with the Police Unit of Special Weapon Tactical Team (SWAT), from the Mobile Police Force 19-unit, River State, he couldn’t explain the weapons discovered in his possession or his mission or his mission in Borno.
An intelligence officer who spoke with PRNigeria on the matter disclosed that “Ebenezer Ojeh was intercepted at a checkpoint due to his suspicious behaviour after he had boarded a Borno Express commercial going to Abuja.
