Suspected Armed Robber Killed In Katsina, Stolen Vehicle Recovered

Men of the Katsina State Police Command have neutralized one suspected armed robber along Koza village in Mai’adua Local Government Area of the state.

Mai’adua shares border with the Niger Republic.

The neutralised suspected armed robber is among the three suspects who stole a Toyota jeep from Abuja.

Police spokesman, Gambo Isah displayed the corpse of the suspected armed robber at a press briefing on Friday at the command headquarters.

He recalled that the success was recorded after they received an intelligence report that armed robbers robbed someone in Abuja of his black Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number ABC 165 HP Abuja.

He called on residents to continue to assist the security operatives with useful information that could lead to the arrest of criminal elements to ensure lasting peace and stability in the state.

“Detectives from the Anti Kidnapping Unit gave the hoodlums a hot chase and succeeded in tracking them.

“They engaged the hoodlums in a gun duel and neutralised one of the armed robbers and recovered the vehicle.

“The armed robbers have gone sophisticated by using a network jammer so that the vehicle tracker and mobile networks cannot work.

“As God would have it, we used the sophisticated methods too and tracked them down,” the spokesman added.
