Operatives of the Edo State Police Command have arrested an
80-year-old woman for supplying and keeping arms and ammunition for a
gang of robbers in the state.
The suspect, Madam Comfort Izedomwen, was arrested alongside her
partner in crime, Mrs. Stella Omobude, 48. Police recovered 68
cartridges from Izedomwen.
When Omobude was arrested, 32 live cartridges, which she allegedly
kept for members of an armed robbery gang, were found in her residence.
The confessional statement of Omobude led to the arrest of Izeomwen at
Ekae Village, Benin City.
After Izeomwen was nabbed, about 68 live cartridges were recovered in
her house. Stating her own side of the story, Izeomwen denied being a
robber. She said she sells car-tridges for a living. Her words: “I sell
cartridges to my customers for N250.
This is the business I do to sustain my family. Yes, I sell to
people, but I don’t know what they do with it!” The State’s Commissioner
of Police, Mr. Chris Ezike, said that Izedomwen and Omobude, along with
71 others, were arrested for various criminal offences in different
parts of the state.
