Kelechi said, “The suspect has been arrested. He was sleeping when the police came this morning. When his house was searched, the police saw a pistol with live ammunition inside one of his cooking pots. The guy is one of those guys that usually terrorise the community. He is the leader of a cult in the area called the Hardcore.
