The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested two notorious armed robbers terrorising the nation’s capital.
SP Josephine Adeh, the command’s spokesperson, said in a statement on Sunday that the arrest came in response to a distress call on March 27 about an “ongoing robbery” at Royal Court Estate, Jahi II.
She stated that when the operatives arrived at the scene, the hoodlums engaged them in a gun battle.
The statement revealed that the suspects were subdued by the police operatives’ superior firepower and tried to escape, but sustained gunshot injuries in the process.
