Summary: Anambra State Police Command has arrested 24-year-old Chiduben Anyigo for allegedly robbing a reverend father of his iPhone in a brazen attack that has left many residents shaken.
The Anambra State Police Command has shown once again that crime does not pay, as operatives successfully apprehended a 24-year-old suspected armed robber identified as Chiduben Anyigo, who allegedly had the audacity to attack a reverend father and make away with his iPhone.
The Arrest That Has Anambra Talking
In a state known for its strong Catholic roots and deep reverence for men of God, news of this attack has stirred serious outrage among residents. That someone would dare lay hands on a reverend father — a figure held in the highest esteem across Igbo communities — has left many shaking their heads in disbelief.
The suspect, who is just 24 years old, allegedly targeted the clergyman and violently dispossessed him of his iPhone before attempting to flee. However, as Nigerians love to say, “the road wey thief take go, na the same road e go take come back” — and true to form, the long arm of the law caught up with young Anyigo.
A Message to Would-Be Criminals
The arrest sends a strong signal to criminals operating in Anambra and across the South-East that security forces are very much on their toes. Anambra has been making concerted efforts to improve its security situation, and stories like this serve as a reminder that such efforts are yielding results.
For the reverend father and the wider Catholic community in the state, the arrest will no doubt bring some measure of relief and justice.
As investigations continue, residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station. No one — not even a man of God going about his holy duties — should have to fear for their safety on Anambra’s roads.
