Police kill robber, recover pistols, charms in Taraba

Justin Tyopuusu

The Commissioner of Police in Taraba State, Mr. Dave Akinremi, on Saturday, said the state police command had killed an armed robber in the Bali Local Government Area of the state during the stop-and-search operation conducted throughout the state on Saturday.

According to him, the suspect, who boarded a commercial bus from Jalingo to Takum, attempted to escape when men of the command on duty stopped the bus for a search but was apprehended.

Akinyemi stated, “The bus was stopped for a search during the operation and the suspect jumped out and dropped his bag.

“The operatives, suspecting something was wrong, shot him in the leg while he was running into the bush in a bid to escape.

“When the bag was searched, three Italian Beretta pistols, nine rounds of .99mm ammunition and some charms were recovered from the bag.”

The police commissioner said the suspect, however, died on the way to the hospital.
