The operation resulted in the arrest of 14 suspects, several of whom were caught red-handed in the act of burglary. During interrogations, they were identified as members of one of the notorious gangs of microbes that had been terrorising the Nkoabang neighbourhood recently. Seven of the suspects are ex-convicts . The latter confessed not only to the murder of ABENG but also to a series of violent acts contributing to the insecurity affecting part of Nkolafamba sub-division.
