Police Nab Akwa Ibom Ritualist which provides “bullets” pendants with thieves

The agents of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command arrested a 30 -year -old suspicion, Cletus Effeiong Bassey, for presumably produced pendants and “bullets reward” for armed thieves.

The suspicion was arrested on July 29, 2025, around 19:00, during a raid on his sanctuary in the village of Nung Oku, in the area of the local government of Uuan, following intelligence relationships.

The official of the Public Relations of the Police, DSP Timfon John, in a declaration of Friday, said that Bassey’s arrest was part of an ongoing repression on criminal networks in the state.

“The preliminary investigations show that suspicion has been deeply involved in ritualistic practices, including the preparation of native pendants and bullet proof talismans for criminal bands”, reads the note.

According to the police, a search for the Bassey complex led to the recovery of a gun manufactured with single barrels, which is believed to be used in its illegal operations.

The PPRO added that the investigations were still in progress to identify Bassey customers and dismantle the criminal supply chain.

The police assured the residents of their commitment to eliminate criminals and urged the public to continue to provide credible information to the security agencies.
