The Enugu State Police Command has detained a 28-year-old suspect for allegedly robbing a female Point-of-Sale (POS) operator of N200,000 at gunpoint.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the incident occurred on October 17 at about 9 am at the victim’s shop along Old Orba Road, Uhulor, in the Obollo-Afor area of Udenu Local Government Area.
According to a statement by the command’s spokesperson, SP Daniel Ndukwe, the suspect was arrested on October 18 at about 12:26 pm by operatives of the Udenu Division, supported by members of the Neighbourhood Watch Group.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim raised the alarm during the robbery, prompting the suspect to flee while allegedly threatening to shoot anyone pursuing him. A Beretta-like pistol and an expended 9mm ammunition shell were recovered from him.
SP Ndukwe confirmed that the suspect has confessed to the crime during interrogation and will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
The Commissioner of Police, Mamman Giwa, commended the operatives for the swift arrest and acknowledged the support of the Neighbourhood Watch Group. He reiterated the command’s commitment to combating crime and urged residents to promptly report suspicious activities to the authorities.
