Firstclass newsline learnt that some suspected armed robbers
terrorising residents of Asaba, Ibusa and its environs in Delta State,
on Wednesday snatched a cellophane bag containing human excreta and a
N200 note in Okpanam community, near Asaba.
The hoodlums were said to have earlier shot a motorist who allegedly
blocked their entrance into Okpanam community from the Asaba-Benin
Expressway.
But in a swift reaction, security operatives attached to the Delta
State Police Command gunned down two of the armed robbers at the
T-Junction around the Asaba-Benin Expressway during a gun battle.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the robbers came in a Toyota Camry
without any number plate.
It was also gathered that the robbers shot sporadically into the air
before they descended on a nursing mother, Mrs. Benedict Omorah, who
held a black cellophane bag containing her baby's excreta and a N200
note.
Sources said Omorah had noticed them, but tried to flee the scene
before they noticed her.
They reportedly caught up with her at a corner, and at gunpoint
snatched the bag from her.
Omorah said, "I was going to a private clinic with my baby when the
armed men accosted me and snatched the bag containing my baby's
excreta and a N200 note. I was shocked the way they pointed the gun at
me. Afterwards, they zoomed off in their car."
Investigations by our correspondent revealed that armed robbers had
laid siege to Okpanam community, which was also grappling with high
incidence of rape, especially of married women.
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Celestina Kalu, while
confirming the incident, said the gang had robbed some motorists along
the expressway before moving into Okpanam community.
He said the police patrol team at the state police command ran into
the robbers, which resulted in a gun battle.
He said, "Unfortunately for them, the police responded and two of the
six-man gang were killed on the spot, while others fled in their car
into the community where they snatched the cellophane bag containing
excreta from the nursing mother."
She said the police would do everything possible to arrest the fleeing
robbers, calling on residents of the community to always report to the
police any suspicious persons in the area.
