The commissioner stated that an intervention by the police saved the trio from angry mob who were already beating and pounding on them with intention to set them ablaze, after they (the suspects) dispossessed a student of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam, of her belongings. After the police took custody of the criminals, some incriminating items found and recovered from them and they are:

one locally made single barrel pistol,
a white coloured dagger,
a big saw, a big hammer,
a black and brown coloured lady’s bag,
