FCT POLICE ARRESTS SIX-MAN ARMED 2

The operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command attached to the Anti-One Chance Unit have arrested six armed robbery “one chance” criminal suspects, neutralized one, rescued a victim, and recovered their operational vehicle.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed that on August 6, 2025, at about 08:30 a.m., while on routine patrol with two vehicles, the officers sighted a victim later identified as Angel Patrick, being pushed out of a moving vehicle along Kubwa Expressway.

In a swift response, one team stopped to rescue the victim, immediately conveying her to Zankwochi Hospital, Mabushi, for urgent medical attention, while the second team, comprising undercover officers, pursued the fleeing suspects to the Aso area of Mararaba, Nasarawa State.

According to her, following a hot chase and a fierce gun duel, the suspects were forcefully halted. Five were arrested at the scene: Jude Simon of Mararaba, Emmanuel Akor, Daniel Benson, Uche Thomas, and Tope Ola, all males from Mpape who had been on the Command’s wanted list. Their operational vehicle, a dark grey Toyota Corolla, was recovered.

One suspect was neutralized during the exchange of fire and later confirmed dead at Asokoro General Hospital.

Investigations further revealed that one of the suspects: John Simon, had been arrested in December 2024, charged, and remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre for the same offence.

Exhibits recovered from the suspects include One vehicle, Six ATM cards suspected to belong to previous victims, one jackknife, Cash sum of ₦115,000 and other personal items suspected to belong to previous victims.

The suspects, who freely confessed to being “one chance” operators, admitted they had been involved in the crime for several years now.

The Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, while applauding the bravery and professionalism of the officers, reaffirmed the Command’s firm commitment to flushing out criminal elements from the FCT.

He also urged residents to remain vigilant when boarding vehicles and to patronize only approved motor parks.
