Police in Rivers State arrest 18 suspects, including a man described as a fake soldier, during a crackdown on criminal activities. The Rivers State Police Command says it recovers 47 firearms from the suspects.
Multiple outlets report the operation as a broader effort targeting armed robbery and related crimes in the state. One outlet says the arrests are part of police activity in Port Harcourt and presents the case through a public police parade. Another outlet adds that police also recover 12 stolen vehicles, framing the findings as part of security operations over roughly the past two months. Both accounts emphasize the inclusion of the alleged fake soldier among the 18 people taken into custody, alongside other suspects linked to criminal conduct.
