Armed robber killed, three arrested in Ebonyi community

Soldiers attached to the Nkwagu Military Cantonment, on Monday, killed an armed robber on the Akpoha/Abaomege area of the Afikpo-Abakaliki Highway in the Onicha Local Government Area of the state.

They also arrested three people said to have links with the hoodlums who allegedly terrorised motorists in the area.

According Metro reports that the suspects were part of a gang that had been causing mayhem and terrorising the axis.

The Afikpo-Abakaliki Highway in Ebonyi State is the easiest route for travellers coming to Abakaliki (the Ebonyi State capital) from Imo and Abia states.

Our correspondent gathered that luck ran out of the suspects Monday morning when the soldiers swooped on them, killing one and getting three others arrested.

A trending video watched by our correspondent showed travellers and natives praising the gallantry of the soldiers as they were taking arrested suspects away while another was seen lying fatally wounded.

The police spokesman in the state, DSP Joshua Ukandu, said a report on the incident before his office was not corresponding, adding he was still waiting for details of the incident from the Divisional Police Officer in the Abaomege Division.

He said, “I’ve not been able to get anything conclusive, the DPO for Abaomege confirmed getting information on that, but doesn’t have details. So, I don’t have any details to give.”
