He said until their arrest, Uduma was a staff of a private secondary school in Umunna Nsulu in Isiala Ngwa North local government of the state where the girls had just finished their West African School Certificate Examination.“The suspects have been under our surveillance due to their suspicious activities. And when we got an actionable intelligence, I immediately ordered my men to move on and arrest them,” he noted.
