Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have arrested a suspected bandit, MICHEAL OSUNDU in the state.

The suspect, according to police authorities, is suspected to be part of the hoodlums that attacked the Nigeria Correctional Services and the Police headquarters on April 5.

According to the police spokesman in the state, IKEOKWU ORLANDO, the arrest followed the mandate and directive of the Inspector General of Police, ALKALI USMAN to restore peace in Imo state.

Items recovered from the suspect include one English-made Pump action rifle and 26 live cartridges, and a pair of police uniform with the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police hidden in his tinted vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, ABUTU YARO, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the matter, with a view of discovering his level of fault and possibly arresting other suspects.

He also asked other persons that participated in the attacks on Police and Correctional facilities, as well as the escapee inmates to turn themselves in, or else, will be made to face the full wrath of the law if caught.

The police boss further appealed to members of the public to partner with the Command by volunteering credible information to the Police, which may lead to arresting criminal elements in and around the state.
