She went further to estimate that the property was worth N250 million and that Nnabugwu also used exotic cars with customized number plate titled ‘MCON’, adding that the sergeant was worth over N2 billion and that he spent millions during his 30th birthday party.

He is presently an Inspector of Police serving at Ogudu Police Division where he is attached to the Divisional Crime Brand (DCB) and not a police Sergeant serving at MOPOL 18 Owerri as alleged.
