The police in Abuja on Thursday night gunned down an armed robbery
suspect who snatched a Toyota Highlander Sport Utility Vehicle at Garki
Area 11 and attempted to rob a supermarket with two other suspects, who managed to escape. The jeep was recovered along with an SMG rifle, nine live ammunition and three cell-phones.
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of the Central Police Station,
Wuse, Chief Superintendent of Police Haruna Garba, said that he received
a distress call around 8.15 pm that a robbery operation was going on at
a supermarket. On getting there, they saw three men running and gunned down one of them and
recovered an SMG rifle, nine rounds of live ammunition and three cell
phones from him. The DPO said that the calls and messages coming into the deceased's
phones would be analysed to get the other gang members.
The owner of the SUV
explained that he came from Gombe to visit his former school mate in
Abuja, while parking the car, three men accosted him, put a gun to
his head and slapped him. He identified the dead suspect as the person
that snatched the car key from him and collected N20,000 and four phones from him
and his friend.
