The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects, disclosed that upon interrogation, they confirmed to be rapists, who earn a living through such illicit sexual act. She said various packets of condoms including jack knives were recovered from them.
