A robbery suspect, whose gang attempted to rob motorists on the Benin bye-pass, has been killed by men of the Edo State Police Command.
Other members of the gang escaped with bullet wounds.
Police spokesman Ejiroro Awhara said operatives of Operation Thunderstorm responded to a distress call, which resulted in a shoot-out and the death of the suspect.
Ejiroro said an AK47 rifle, hand-bag, handsets and other personal effects were recovered from the scene.
The spokesman said the police have listed the road as one of the black spots around the state capital.
He warned robbers and their accomplices to repent or face the full weight of the law.
Ejiroro appealed to hospitals and herbal medical practitioners to report any person with fresh bullet wounds.
