One
policeman has lost his life in a shootout with armed robbers who invaded
a community bank in the Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State.
Sergeant Patrick Sunday was killed alongside two of the armed robbers; Yakubu and another unidentified male.
The Kogi
State Police Command, which paraded 21 suspects in the state command
headquarters in Lokoja on Tuesday, explained that the incident happened
on November 27, when it received information that some bandits numbering
about 20 had attacked Akengwu Community Bank in the area.
The state
Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, said, “The hoodlums
engaged the police in a gun battle, leading to the death of Sergeant
Sunday, while two of the criminals were gunned down.
“Items
recovered from the robbery scene include two AK-47 riffles, 10 AK-47
magazines, 100 AK-47 live ammunitions, one face mask, one cell phone,
one bottle of Dettol and two sachets of suspected hard drug.”
Also
paraded was Jale Lawal, arrested for conspiring with two others ─
Abubakar Isah and Haruna Ilyasu ─ to kidnap and assassinate his brother,
Mallam Muazu Yahaya.
Lawal was alleged to have invited Isah and Ilyasu to kidnap and help to assassinate his brother.
The PPRO
said. “Acting on the information provided by Yahaya, the state’s Special
Anti-Robbery Squad intercepted and arrested the suspects who later
confessed to the crime during interrogation.”
