Acting on credible intelligence, detectives arrested the suspect who was residing at Flat B’, Ikot Nkebre Layout, 8′ Miles, Calabar on 1st December 2023.
Onyebuchi, on interrogation, admitted to have diverted the truck but that he gave it to his friend, one Mr Hamilton at Akwa Ibom to complete the task without informing or seeking the company’s approval as required.
Onyebuchi further revealed that he got a call from an unknown person days later informing him that the truck was intercepted by men of the Nigerian Customs in Edo State with contraband rice.
He added that he left for Port Harcourt and got two other jobs in Port Harcourt and Enugu where he was arrested.
