A notorious armed robber has been arrested in Enugu State after his colleague missed a target and shot at him.
There
was confusion in the band of a notorious robbery gang that has been
terrorizing Enugu State and other parts of the south east of the country
as the police in the state has arrested one of the most wanted armed
robber in Nigeria, Afam Omoba alias Obosi, after he was allegedly shot
by a member of his own gang who missed his target during an operation in
Eziobodo, Amechi Idodo near the state capital.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),DSP
Ebere Amaraizu, Obosiwho has evaded the police for several years, was
brought to nabbed by police operatives attached to Amechi Idodo when the
gang attempted to rob a victim in his house.
But a young man in the residence they had gone to attack resisted the
hoodlums’ order that the victims should bring all the money they kept
in the house and in the confusion that ensued, one of the gang members
tried to shoot the guy but missed the target and instead he shot Omoba
in the leg.
It was the sound of the gunshot that attracted the attention of the
people in the neighborhood which made the members of gang to flee. The
robbers took along the injured Omoba but their escape was short-lived as
a police patrol team arrived and gave the suspects a hot chase.
The PPRO said that policemen combed the bush towards the direction the hoodlums ran to and eventually arrested Omoba.
