The operation uncovered their alleged role in the forceful initiation of victims on 25 November 2025 at a forest location in Ugwu Peak, Iva Valley, Enugu North Local Government Area.
Items allegedly used during the initiation exercise were recovered from the suspects, including one locally made double-barrelled pistol, four cutlasses and two empty bottles of Squadron rum.
