“The said Wisdom, who shot at Police operatives while attempting to arrest him, is a remnant of a dreaded armed robbery gang, led by the late Malachi Uwem Friday.”

 

He recalled that; “on 22nd July, he murdered one Nsikan Vincent Udo, of Ikot Inua village at Ikot Efun junction and made away with his new Q-link motorcycle. On the 8th of July, he shot and injured one Jesse Johnson and two others in a POS shop at Ikot Ambang junction.”

 

Also, the CP added that “on the 5th of the same month, he shot and maimed one Augustina Dominic at her Supermarket. Many PoS Operators, filling Stations, Supermarket Owners, market men and women have been dispossessed of millions of naira by Wisdom, who succeeded in spreading a lot of fear before meeting his Waterloo.”

 

Exhibits recovered from him, our Correspondent garthered, included a locally reconstructed Pump Action gun with the look of an AK-47, cartridges, a Q-link motorcycle, assorted charms and facemask.

 

“We have warned criminal elements in the state to leave the State immediately or get ready to dance the new song.
