Edo: Police kill robbery suspect in gunfight, arrest another

Yesterday, members of the Edo State Police Command shot and killed an armed robbery suspect, and they also apprehended another suspect who was carrying firearms.

The men from the Edo State Security Network provided assistance, according to a statement released yesterday by the state police command's spokesman, SP Chidi Nwabuzor. 

“On January 5 at about 20:00 hours, police operatives attached to Ugbor Division, GRA, Benin-city, Edo State and the Edo State Security Network personnel led by the Divisional Police Officer successfully engaged a robbery gang, arrested one, neutralised one, recovered one cut-to-size gun and two cartridges,” read the statement. 

“The arrested suspect, Ahmed Ibrahim, 19, is currently in police custody and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), while the body of the deceased armed robber, whose name is yet unknown, has been deposited at the Stella Obasanjo mortuary in the state. 

“The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Dankwara, who is pleased to note that no police officer was injured during the operation, commended the members of the public whose timely and accurate information led to the successful operation. 

“The CP equally assured the public that the Command is committed to keeping the state safe from crimes, reiterating his commitments to arrest perpetrators of violent crimes and other offences and prosecute them accordingly,” he added.
