The Department of State Services said it has arrested two suspects involved in the attack on the head office of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Owerri, Imo State and others around the state.
The State Director of the DSS, Wilcox Idaminabo, made this known on Wednesday in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Idaminabo spoke at a meeting with the Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Prof. Sylvia Uchenna Agu.
He said the agency has dislodged camps at Orsu, from where the hoodlums launched the attacks, adding that it led to the arrest of a leader and financier of the hoodlums in the town.
He equally said the hoodlums have relocated to Aku/Ihube axis along the Okigwe Expressway.
Idaminabo said: “We have continued to comb their camps and cells in Orsu, Njaba, Orlu and Okigwe.
“Our onslaught, especially at Njaba, led to the arrest of one Ejima, who has been threatening to burn down the state and INEC offices.
“I am happy to announce that just last night (Tuesday) we apprehended him and he’s now in our custody.
“We also recovered a lot of arms, ammunition and charms from him.”
