He said three suspects, identified as Udegenyi Ugochukwu, 38; Anayochukwu Okonkwo, 47; and Good Odigili, 47; were arrested in connection with the crime.

“The suspects confessed that they diverted a truck loaded with custard powder meant for delivery in Asaba, Delta state,” the statement reads.

“They tied the driver in the bush and diverted the goods to Enugwu-Ukwu.”

Ikenga noted that the command also recovered a suspected stolen vehicle (a custom-coloured Toyota Sienna, with registration number 736 JP, with a ‘forum of accountants Delta state’ inscription) on July 5 while on patrol along Okpuno-Umuota village in Obosi.

He urged anyone with proof of ownership to visit the command for verification and possible collection.
