As the war on criminal elements intensifies, soldiers on Monday shot dead a robbery suspect and arrested three others accused of terrorising innocent motorists and commuters along the Afikpo/Abaomege/Akpoha federal highway in Ebonyi State.
Southeastposts.com, learnt that the suspects were part of a gang that regularly terrorised motorists and commuters along the highway, hence making the road unsafe for travellers, especially for those coming to Abakaliki from Imo and Abia States.
It was gathered that luck ran out of the suspects Monday morning when military personnel swooped on them, killing one and arrested three others.
The outcome of the operation, trending on social media, showed travellers and natives attempting to catch a glimpse of the suspects while commending the gallantry of the troops as they prepared to take the arrested suspects away, and another was seen lying fatally wounded.
Meanwhile , the State’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, while responding to inquiries, said information on the development was still sketchy as the state police command was waiting for details of the incident from the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in the Abomege Division.
