In Kaduna State, the police have apprehended a suspected armed robber along with an accomplice found in possession of numerous Automated Teller Machines (ATM) cards.
ASP Mansir Hassan, the Public Relations Officer for the police command, verified the arrest during an interview with NAN in Kaduna on Monday. The arrest took place on Sunday following a complaint filed by the victim.
Hassan explained that the armed robbery suspect, along with two accomplices, intercepted the complainant and her son in the Kawntaresha area of Sabon Gari, Zaria, ultimately dispossessing them of their valuables.
“On her way home with her son, three unknown persons with daggers and a sharp knife attacked them and injured her son.
“The suspects robbed her of a handbag containing her ATM card, phone and cash which the amount is yet to be ascertained and other valuables,” Hassan said.
According to him, the preliminary investigation led to the arrest of one suspect in the Muchiya area of Sabon Gari, Zaria.
The suspect was caught with one long knife and he confessed to having criminally conspired with two others, who are still at large, to commit the alleged offence.
