In a statement issued on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Timfon John, disclosed that the arrest occurred at about 5:05 a.m. in Ikot Oboron Enyin Village after a Marine Police officer alerted the Command to suspicious activity near a pipeline.

“Operatives from the Command immediately mobilized to the location, where they encountered a group of individuals engaged in suspected vandalism. Upon sighting the police, the suspects attempted to flee. However, Ernest was apprehended at the scene, while others escaped into the surrounding bush,” the statement read.

Items recovered from the suspect include a Fireman FGP 088EG generator, a filing iron, a filing machine, a Siemens Germany toolbox, welding electrodes, various spanners, 24 large bolts and nuts, a fabricated iron bar, and a food flask containing fufu—suggesting preparations for prolonged field operations.

Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to track down other members of the gang who remain at large.
