An offensive by a mix of police operatives, vigilantees and hunters in Adamawa State against members of a robbery gang has resulted in the killing of two of the gangsters and arrest of one.
Other members of the gang fled after they were overpowered in the shootout, which occurred in the early hours of Monday around the Numan end of the Numan-Jalingo Highway.
The Police imagemaker in Adamawa State, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, said in a statement Monday morning the successful security operation was launched on the order of the Commissioner of Police, CP Aliyu Adamu, “after a good Samaritan” reported that the robbery suspects were operating.
He added the security operation, which was led by the DPO in charge of Numan Division, recorded success because the DPO was quick in mobilising his men and members of the helpful vigilantee group and hunters’ union.
