The Police Command in Rivers says it intercepted and arrested two
fake soldiers allegedly involved in a robbery operation within new Port
Harcourt GRA on Wednesday.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Nnamdi Omoni, disclosed this in a statement in Port Harcourt.
Omoni said that the Anti Crime Patrol Team of the Abacha Police
Station, while on routine patrol intercepted the robbers dressed in Army
uniform operating in a Honda Element car with Registration number AKJ
695 DX.
He stated that the two fake soldiers were Chibudo Ugwuala (31) from Abia and Godwin Ekpuno (23) from Akwa-Ibom.
“On interrogation, they could not give satisfactory account of how
they came by the car and the military camouflage found on them.
“They had military ranks of Brigadier General and Colonel, which they have been using to intimidate people and commit crimes.
“Further probe revealed that the duo are persons with disabilities,
one dumb and the other limping but thrive in criminal activities,” he
said.
According to Omoni, the same operatives also arrested one Baredose
Taabaa, a 26-year- old man from Khana Local Government Area of Rivers
allegedly involved in snatching handsets.
“His criminal gang specialises in snatching handsets from
unsuspecting persons along the Ikwerre Road area of Port Harcourt,” he
added.
The PRO revealed that Taaba was arrested shortly after he snatched a Samsung Handset from its owner at the Agip Flyover.
“The handset was immediately recovered and the owner identified it to be his.
“All suspects arrested are helping us in our Investigation and will
be charged to court as soon as our investigation is completed,” he
stated.
