The Anti-Robbery Patrol team, on Sunday, foiled a robbery attack at a filling station at 2nd Rainbow, Festac.
The suspect, Chizoba Okek, 30, had two phones, one sword, house breaking implements, two daggers, POS machine, an ATM card and a military uniform on him, which was all recovered by the Anti-robbery operatives.
The force public relations officer, DSP Bala Elkana, stated that investigation is ongoing to ascertain where and how he got the military uniform he operates with and also identify other members of his gang.
“It is not yet established whether he belongs to the gang of dismissed soldiers arrested weeks ago”, Bala said.
Blackbox Nigeria learnt that the suspect was arrested following a distress call received by the Festac police station at about 10:23pm on Sunday that an armed robber was sighted along the area.
