Nemesis caught up with a six-man robbery gang, as men of the state police command foiled what would have been a major operation in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital yesterday.
Briefing newsmen on the matter, the state commissioner of police, Mr. Muhammadu Musa Katsina, disclosed two members of the gang were gunned down while two others were arrested, adding however, that the remaining two are on the run.
He disclosed that one pistol and some rounds of catridges were recovered from them, adding that his men are on the trail of the others, whom he vowed have no choice but to surrender, as his ‘ambush squad’ would surely capture them.
He added that he has given ‘operational order’ to his boys not to return to the command without apprehending the remaining criminals, disclosing that their network is so tight that it can pick anything, no matter how small.
The commissioner further assured members of the public that the command was poised to make the state unsafe for
criminals, stressing that they are making progress in the fight against crime and criminality in the state.
