At the briefing at the Police Command Headquarters, Diamond Hill, Calabar on Tuesday, Ugbo said they made milestone breakthroughs within the period under review.

According to her, Daniel Eshiet was part of the gang responsible for the abduction of a Lafarge Cement staff in September and collected millions of naira as ransom for his release.

She further hinted that Lingwong, who stabbed her neighbour to death, was also arrested after she tried to flee the scene.

Ugbo said: “Ann stabbed her neighbour with a kitchen knife during an argument.

“These 15 persons will soon be charged to court once we conclude our investigations.

“We also apprehended a Point of Sale thief.

“He specialises in robbing PoS operators, he came in all the way from Bayelsa State before men of Anti-Cultism and Kidnapping Squad apprehended him.”
