The Benue State Police Command says it has arrested three suspected armed robbers terrorising some parts of Makurdi metropolis in the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Catherine Anene, in a statement on Tuesday, said the suspects were arrested at Logo 1, Wurukum, in Makurdi.
Anene said that the suspects had, before their arrest, robbed residents within Wurukum, Northbank and Modern Market areas, all in the capital city of Makurdi.
“Fortunately, on August 26, 2022, around 4pm, the said suspects, Fanen Wever, Philip Adanyi, aka Baron, and Albert Akor, aka J-Boy, all male of no fixed address, were arrested at their hideout, within Logo 1 Wurukum, Makurdi.
