According to the information gathered, Police in Ebonyi State have apprehended two buses conveying  some persons with arms and ammunition.

The incident occurred near Onu-Ebonyi Bridge across Abakaliki-Ogoja federal highway, in the Izzi Local Government Area of the state.

Also found with the suspects were military uniforms.

After they had been intercepted by men of the Safer Highways Patrol Team, the suspects said they are Nollywood actors and were going to Taraba State for a movie shoot. They were, however, driven to the police headquarters at Abakaliki for additional questioning.

The spokesman of the authorities from the state, Loveth Odah, confirmed the arrests.

“Yes, we intercepted buses carrying some persons with arms and ammunition going to Taraba but they are not herdsmen, they are Nollywood actors.

“They were wearing army uniforms and we are investigating the matter. I will give details of the matter as soon as we got every detail,” Odah said.
