Armed Robbers Get Overpowered By Victims During Operation
Two armed robbery suspects were overpowered by 3 of their victims during a robbery operation in Akwa Ibom state.
According to National Helm, the police on Wednesday, September 2,
around 12.25 am received a report of a robbery gang involving two men,
who snatched 2 laptops, 3 mobile phones and the sum of N2,500 from their
victims at Ikot-Osurua, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom state.
After the victims overpowered the armed robbery suspects, they disposed the suspects of the two locally-made pistols and one live cartridge the robbers used in robbing them.
All three suspects were handed over to the police alongside the recovered exhibits. The suspects are currently in the custody of the police, while state CID is investigating.
In another development, robbers and pickpockets took advantage of the large crowd that thronged to the Festac town branch of Shoprite, which opened at Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos last week, fleecing many of the shoppers.
