The suspect, Favour Izunna, also known as Njoku, 22, belongs to the Vikings Confraternity, where he operates as an executioner who has terrorised Obosi and surrounding communities.
With support from the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Awkuzu, police operatives raided a criminal hideout in Obosi and recovered a pump-action gun, five live cartridges, a locally made Beretta pistol, and seven rounds of 7.5mm live ammunition.
During interrogation, Izunna confessed to murdering about five people in Obosi.
