VAM News Update

A vigilante group said it arrested a man, Favour Chuks, son of a serving Divisional Police Officer, with a bag containing substances suspected to be Indian hemp around Gateway Junction in Ada George, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The vigilante, Rivers State Neighbourhood Watch, said the arrest followed a tip which its officials immediately acted on.

Director of Operations of the Neighbourhood Watch, Mathew Iheanyi, disclosed this to newsmen in the state capital on Wednesday.

He said the suspect was arrested at about 10 pm on Tuesday while trying to board a tricycle popularly called Keke.

Iheanyi said the suspect was nabbed with a red cellophane bag containing the substance while he was also smoking, saying he has been handed over to the Kala Police Division.

He stated, “As you can see the man behind us here, he was apprehended with a full bag of substances. Probably, he is one of the dealers who are petronising people distributing drugs in Rivers State.

” He is the son of a serving police officer, a DPO, for that matter. Imagine the person this boy is disgracing, a DPO. He was even smoking at the time we arrested him.
