Okpabi said, “The suspects on interrogation confessed to stealing from the petitioner’s Bebobsco hotel, No.62 Old Odukpani road, Calabar on 5th June 2023 having disguised as genuine guests.

“The team executed a search warrant in their houses and recovered an unregistered red Topstar motorcycle with chassis No. LKIPCK16M1008057, engine No. 162FMJ51011509; one Senwei petrol Generator; one Century 32″ television, one Samsung 24″ television, OX Standing Fan; Television; a Mattress; one GOTV Decoder; Duvets, pillows and bedsheets.”

The suspects also led the team to one Ekpe David Efioette aged 23, who received the generator and resold it to one Becky Osinachi Chukwu where a search was executed and the generator recovered
