Parading the suspects yesterday, Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Musa Katsina, said through intelligence report and expanded network, they located the principal suspect, Innocent Onyeneoura in River State who led them to arrest the others.
“On getting there, we learnt that he was on the Benin express highway to Lagos and we contacted our colleagues in Lagos who traced him to Badagry expressway, but he had an accident why trying to escape. He was wearing police uniform, so the FRSC rescue team mistook him for a police officer and took him to the hospital for treatment where he escaped before getting there,” he said.
He said apart from the money stolen from two banks at Ankpa, two vehicles snatched for the operation were also recovered and that investigation is still ongoing.
The police also paraded four suspected robbers: Hassan Ankiwale, Yahaya Muhammed, Dada Ogehe and Aliyu Raji Ayo during robbery operation at a bank in Igara in Edo State where they killed a musician during the operation.
Commissioner Muhammed said items recovered in all the operations by the police were 14 locally made grenade, eight anti-tank improvised devices, one locally made single barrel gun, one firing cable and three (av) battery.
