A 15-year-old girl and her cultist boyfriend were arrested over the weekend in Akwa Ibom for being in possession of substances suspected to be Indian hemp and a pistol.
The police public relations officer, Cordelia Nwanwe, who paraded the suspects before reporters, said that the suspects were arrested by the police detectives on routine surveillance.
Another suspect, who gave his name as Okon Michael, and married with children, was also arrested for defiling a teenager.
The PPRO explained that due medical examination had been carried out and the suspect would soon be arraigned in court.
