Operatives of the FCT Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have arrested two suspects while attempting to snatch a black Prado Jeep from the owner around Capital Hub in Jahi District of Abuja.
The suspects, who were part of a group of four armed men, were arrested on July 22 at about 10:45pm, while the operatives were on patrol.
This was disclosed by the command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement on Friday, July 26.
“On sighting the police operatives, the hoodlums opened fire, which resulted in a g¥n duel, but were over powered by the police, as two suspects, Joshua Godfrey A.K.A. Dogo 44 years and Abdulsalam Mamuda, 29 both of Mabushi village were arrested, while two others were neutralized by the police.
The two arrested suspects subsequently led police operatives to the recovery of another red Toyota Corolla car with Reg. No. RBC 743 AH, which must have been snatched from an innocent resident.
Exhibits such as arms, cutlass, dagger, scissors, and mobile phones were recovered from them,” the statement reads.
