The Goshen City Division of the Nasarawa State Police Command arrested a suspected armed robber on Tuesday after he and his gang carried out a robbery on residents in Keffi.
Ramhan Nansel, the command spokesperson, said in a statement on Tuesday that the arrest was made after the suspects were involved in a car accident after fleeing the crime site.
Mr Nansel said. “The command wishes to inform the public of a recent breakthrough in the fight against crime, involving the arrest of a robbery suspect, a fatal accident involving the fleeing suspects, and the recovery of stolen vehicles and other items. On March 25, 2025, at about 03:00 hours, the command received a distress call reporting an armed robbery incident at a residential area behind the stadium in Keffi.”
He stated that upon receiving the report, Commissioner of Police Shetima Mohammed ordered operatives to go after the fleeing suspects, who had escaped before police arrived, while their escape route was tracked.
He stated, “Nemesis, however, caught up with the robbers when the stolen vehicle they had snatched at gunpoint was involved in a fatal accident at Bola Junction, along the Keffi-Abuja Expressway, as they attempted to evade arrest.”
He said officers “rushed the five occupants of the stolen Ash colour Toyota Camry with registration number ABC 621 CV to Johepz Medical Centre, Kuchikau, for urgent medical attention. Unfortunately, four of them were confirmed dead by a medical doctor, while one, identified as Hussaini Mohammed ‘M’ 25yrs of Uke, was arrested and is currently receiving medical treatment under police watch.
“Preliminary investigations confirmed that the Toyota Camry was stolen from one Udochi Emeka ‘M’, residing behind the stadium in Keffi. Further search led to the recovery of the following items from the suspects: assorted charms, two long knives, screwdrivers, several wristwatches, twelve mobile phones of different brands, one Access Bank ATM card belonging to Lydia Olabode Kemi.”
The police commissioner instructed the command’s operatives to intensify their crackdown on criminals to maintain residents’ safety and security, urging the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police.
