Three suspected armed robbers, who were reported to have been terrorising the people of Wushishi Local Government Area, have been arrested by the Police Command in Niger State.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mohammadu Abubakar, the command’s Public Relations Officer, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday in Minna.

“We received information that one Alhaji Samaila Usman of Zaragi Maito Fulani camp, had been attacked by hoodlums armed with cutlasses and a dane gun.

“They stormed his house and inflicted injury on his mouth leading to the removal of his two teeth.

“The suspects also robbed him of N87, 000, two sets of wrapper and one Tecno handset,” Abubakar said.

Abubakar stated that the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad swung into action, which lead to the arrest of the three suspects and the recovery of one single barrel gun and two cutlasses from them.

He said during the course of the interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crime and would be charged to court at the end of investigation.
