A female police officer fell victim of such attack last week Friday after withdrawing the sum of N55,000 from a new generation bank. She was trailed by a two-man gang operating on okada and robbed of the money at gun point in Asaba in a commando manner. There were several similar cases in and around Asaba.
But the State police command’s spokesman, Mr.Charles Muka, denied that the situation was out of control, saying that police were on top of the situation and called for information from well-meaning members of the public to fighting crime generally in the state.
Muka also said that two notorious armed robbers have been gunned in Warri. According to him, on the 15.2.11 at about 2230 hours, Quick Response Squad (QRS) in Warri received information that armed robbers were operating along Giwa Amu/Apala Street Warri. The team rushed to the scene and engaged the robbers in a gun duel and gunned down two of the robbers while two members of the gang escaped with bullet wounds”, adding that “two locally made cut to size pistols were recovered. Manhunt for fleeing gang members is on”.
