The long arms of the law have finally caught up with Anidi Reginald, a 27-year-old Computer Science graduate from a University in Cotonou.

The young man was arrested by men of the Enugu State Police Command for allegedly working with other members of an armed robbery gang to snatch a car from their victim at Ozalla, in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu state on Saturday May 16, 2015.

It was gathered that the dare-devil robbers, which he Anidi was amongst, had attacked and snatched a Honda Pilot car with registration number AAA 598 CH from its owner.

After they had successfully completed their operation, they headed to Enugu metropolis, but unfortunately for Anidi, he was apprehended by the police after a hot pursuit while other members of the gang escaped.

Prior to his arrest, the robbers and the police engaged in a gun battle, which led to the arrest of the Enugu-born suspect.
