The Anambra State Police Command announced on Wednesday the arrest of Jennifer Nwosu, a niece of Aiza Nwosu, a popular Awka-based town crier, event manager and entertainer who was murdered by unknown gunmen two weeks earlier. According to Tribune Online, she was arrested alongside 12 suspected cultists, while a nephew of the deceased remains on the run as investigations continue.

The Anambra State Police Command and the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) are in disagreement over an alleged N600,000 payment. According to RULAAC, the sum was paid as a bribe to secure the release of a suspect's sister. The police have disputed this account of events, according to the Punch report. Details of the suspect's case and the circumstances of the release remain contested between the two parties.

Police in Anambra State, Nigeria, have arrested 12 suspects in connection with the killing of popular comedian Aiza Nwosu, according to Punch. The arrests are also linked to other cult-related murders in Awka, the state capital. Authorities say the suspects are being held as investigations into the killings continue.

The Anambra State Police Command has denied allegations that its officers demanded N600,000 to secure the release of a suspect's sister in custody. According to Punch, police clarified that the woman was arrested for allegedly aiding a cult-related investigation, insisting her detention was lawful and not tied to any monetary demand. The denial follows public claims of extortion against the command.

The Anambra State Special Anti-Touting Squad (SASA) destroyed illicit drugs valued at ₦50 million and arrested several suspects in Awka. This action underscores the agency's commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against drug-related offenses, according to Punch.

Dr. Aniekan Umana, the Commissioner for Information in Akwa Ibom State, has denied claims made in a police press release that a vigilante guard assigned to him was arrested with a toy AK-47 gun. The statement was issued by DSP Timfon John, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Akwa Ibom State Command.
