On the 23rd July, in another scenerio, the operatives also, following actionable intelligence, arrested a member of Ayes Confraternity, one Chibuike Nwagozie (21 years old male) from Nnewi town.

And in totality, between the 16 and 23 July, the Anambra Command Operatives apprehended suspected cultists numbering 103 from different raids; out of which 30 were screened out and released unconditionally, 20 charged to court, 28 placed under police supervision for being under-aged and 25 still undergoing investigation.
