The Kogi State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers along Harbour Bay-Egume Road.
Spokesman of the command, SP William Aya, disclosed this in a statement on Friday, February 7, 2025.
Aya said the suspects, Mohammed Chelim and Oneh Mohammed, both from Olubojo, were arrested while riding a motorcycle after displaying suspicious behaviour.
“Officers who were on patrol in line with the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on the enforcement of Third-Party Insurance across the Federation, operatives of the Ayingba Division, while conducting the exercise along Harbour Bay-EGUME Road, intercepted two young men,” the statement read.
“When questioned, the suspects could not give a clear reason for their movements. A search led to the discovery of a locally made pistol in their possession.”
The Commissioner of Police, CP Miller Dantawaye, praised the officers for their vigilance and dedication.
Dantawaye assured Kogi residents that the command is committed to working with other security agencies to eliminate crime in the state.
He also urged residents to support security efforts by providing reliable information about criminal activities.
