He said other passengers on board were profiled and released to continue their journey.<\/p>\r\n

He added that subsequent investigation of the suspect led to the recovery of a pump-action shotgun and a Lexus RX 330 linked to him.<\/p>\r\n

The suspect, who hails from Ewu in Esan Central Local Government Area of the state, has since been charged to court.<\/p>\r\n

Yamu said efforts are ongoing to apprehend other members of his criminal network.<\/p>\r\n
