The police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have arrested six “l’one chance’ robbers in the territory.
Spokesperson of the FCT police command, Josephine Adeh, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
The suspects, according to the statement are Abubakar Adams, Ismail Salisu, Yusuf Bello, Nasiru Saidi, Sani Usman and Ibrahim Kasa.
The police said the suspects rob passengers who board their vehicles, motorcycles and tricycles and push them out afterwards.
“The operatives of the police command attached to Utako divisional headquarters, on June 16, 2024, acting on credible intelligence, trailed and arrested six armed robbery suspects: Abubakar Adams, Ismail Salisu, Yusuf Bello, Nasiru Saidi, Sani Usman and Ibrahim Kasa who specialise in attacking unsuspecting residents who board their vehicle or tricycle, robbing them of their valuables and pushing them off the moving vehicle or tricycle,” the statement read in part.
Adeh said their arrest was a result of complaints from victims who reported losing their mobile phones, money, gadgets, and other belongings to the criminal individuals, who have since confessed to the crime.
She further stated that cutlasses and knives among others were recovered from the suspects.
