The Enugu State Police Command has secured the conviction of a male phone snatcher,
who was sentenced to three years imprisonment for conspiracy and five years for 
robbery, with both sentences to run concurrently.

 

According to the police, on October 8, 2026, at about 8pm, Ejike Nnam, 34, a resident
of an uncompleted building at Nkpokiti, Enugu, allegedly snatched an iPhone XR valued
at N240,000 from a female victim along Bisalla Road, Enugu, alongside an accomplice
who remains at large. Nnam was promptly arrested and arraigned the following day
before the Enugu North Magistrate Court, where he pleaded guilty and was convicted.
He was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for conspiracy and five years for 
robbery, with both sentences to run concurrently.

 

In a separate case, one Richard Chukwuma (male, aged 29) was arrested on October
7, 2026, at about 6:50 p.m. at a popular supermarket (name withheld) in Enugu, on
suspicion of stealing a bottle of Jameson Green Whisky valued at ₦30,150. During
interrogation, he reportedly confessed to having earlier stolen 15 bottles of the
same whisky from the supermarket. He was arraigned on October 9, 2026, and subsequently
remanded at the Enugu Correctional Centre.

 

The Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, while confirming the conviction,
commended the Chief Magistrate for the prompt dispensation of justice in the phone-
snatching case. He called for the sustained and expeditious conclusion of police
cases before courts across the State, noting that timely adjudication strengthens
public confidence in the justice system and supports effective crime prevention.

 

The Commissioner also commended the New Haven Police Division and the prosecution
team for their diligence, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to thorough investigations
and diligent prosecution of criminal cases in accordance with the law. He urged 
residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities to the Police.
