A 16-year-old job-seeker, Esther
Yakubu, has been arrested by men of the Nassarawa State Police Command for
allegedly being in possession of three guns.
Yakubu said she met John last
week Monday in Jos, Plateau State, adding that the fleeing John promised to
assist her in getting a job.
She said, “The following day,
which was Tuesday, he called me so that we could come to Abuja together.
“I was alone in his room at
Mararaba area when policemen came in and searched the place and found three
guns hidden in the ceiling and I was arrested.
“I had never set my eyes on him
before. We just met at the Jos terminus.”
Confirming the arrest to
journalists in Lafia, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Kennedy
Idirisu, said the suspect was arrested on a tip-off.
Idirisu further revealed that a
different team of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in the state on July 19,
2017 intercepted a Bajaj motorcycle with two armed robbery suspects and
recovered two AK 47 rifles with live ammunition from them.
They were said to be returning
from a robbery operation in Obi and Keana local government areas of the state.
He said one of the suspects
escaped through the bush while the other suspect was shot in his right leg
while trying to escape.
He added that one AK47 rifle was
recovered from him.
