Operatives of the FCT Police Command on Thursday shot dead two out of four suspected armed robbers while attempting to snatch a Prado Jeep at gunpoint in the Jahi area of Abuja, the nation’s capital.

FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth Igweh, made this known to newsmen while parading two arrested members of the robbery gang at the Command’s headquarters in Abuja, on Friday.

Igweh narrated that the incident happened around 10:45 pm on Thursday when a four-man robbery gang engaged the operatives who were on crime prevention patrol, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Mabushi police division, in a fierce gun battle.

According to him, the robbery gang on sighting the police operatives, opened fire and this resulted in a gun duel where two among the armed robbers were neutralised.

“While during the crossfire with our men, two among the four-man robbery gang, whose names were identified as Joshua Godfrey a.k.a. Dogo and Abdulsalam Mamuda both of Mabushi Village were arrested,” he said.

He said a blue Toyota Matrix operational vehicle with registration. No. BWR 626 JB, was recovered from the robbers.

Igweh, however, said the two arrested suspects subsequently led police operatives to the recovery of another Toyota Corolla car with registration number RBC 743 AH, which must have been snatched from an innocent resident.

The CP, while reaffirming the Command’s unflinching commitment to ensuring the safety and security of lives and properties, urged residents and all medical facilities in FCT to be on watch out and to call the attention of the police to anybody sighted with bullet wounds.
