Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the police command, ASP Henry Okoye, in a statement released on Tuesday, October 15, said the suspects are notorious for terrorizing residents in the area.

He also added that the arrest was possible due to security measures put in place by the Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, aimed at tackling violent crimes.

 

He said;

“On October 15, 2024, at about 3:20 am, a patrol team from the Owerri North Divisional Headquarters responded swiftly to a distress call reporting an armed robbery on Dominion Street near Don Kay in Owerri North LGA,” the statement read. 

“Upon arrival, the officers were met with gunfire from the armed robbers.

The officers, displaying remarkable bravery, quickly assumed strategic positions and returned fire.

 

“During the confrontation, one suspect was neutralised, while another named Moses Nanzi ‘m’, 31, of Faringada in Plateau State, sustained gunshot injuries and was arrested. The remaining gang members fled into the bushes. 

“A double-barrel gun and seven rounds of live cartridges from the arrested suspect.
