Delta State police have arrest two teenage robbers found with guns in Delta State
One of the suspects stated that he did not actively participate in the robbery as he unknowingly drove them with his motorcycle.
Two teenagers, Godspower Peter, 18 and Voke Samuel, 15, suspected to be robbers have been arrested by the Delta State Police who found double-barrel guns with them.
There were arrested by officials of the Safer High Way Patrol on Ekakpamre-Jeremi Road in Ughelli South Local Government Area on Thursday.
Reports revealed that they were found "with a fabricated single barrel gun with four rounds of cartridges and a double barrel cut-to-size gun." The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. Usman Ndanbabo, in the state said the boys were caught on a motorcycle holding a poly bag that contained guns.
“The polythene bag contained cut-to-size guns, with one of the bullets already used, indicating that they were coming from a robbery." “There were four of them who jumped into a swamp but our men pursued them, and could only arrest two."
“The suspects made statements and the command will not relent in its efforts to make the area crime-free.” Peter, one of the suspects maintained that he was innocent.
According to him, he was just caught at the wrong place and at the wrong time. “I am a motorcycle rider. The three boys asked me to carry them from Agbarho in Ughelli North to Otujeremi in Ughelli South and I charged them N1, 000. They agreed." “They appealed to me to tow their motorcycle, which was bad."
“On our way, we saw a police checkpoint. We were searched and two guns and bullets were found in the bags they carried." “We fled into a nearby swamp and I was arrested”, he said.
