“Following a distress call to the Divisional Police officer in charge of Ugbor division at about 04:45hrs of 12/07/2022 that there was an ongoing armed robbery operation along Abuja Quarters by Benson Idahosa University, Ugbor, GRA, Benin City, the DPO personally led operatives to the scene with the aim of arresting the suspects.

 

“On arrival at the scene, the suspects on sighting the police operatives, engaged them in a gun duel. However, the superior fire power of the police operatives neutralized one of the suspected armed robbers.

 

“Items recovered from the suspect includes one pump action gun and 5 live cartridges while efforts are on going to arrest the fleeing gang members.”
