Anambra State Police Command have arrrested two women in Nkwelle Ezunaka, Oyi local government area of Anambra state for allegedly robbing a lady of #400,000.

The victim, Nwanye Philomina was picked by the suspects together with their accomplices around Nteje area of the town where she was allegedly robbed.

Newsmen gathered that the victim had ignorantly boarded the vehicle heading towards Onitsha when she was attacked.

The syndicate who perceived the money in the victim’s bag, had suddenly stopped and requested she should alight, claiming they wanted to adjust her seat, a police source told newsmen.
