Two out of the four armed robbers that engaged a team of policemen from Delta Command in a gun battle after a robbery operation at Otokutu community near Warri have been confirmed dead.

The Command’s spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, in a statement on Monday said the two suspects who sustained gunshot injuries during exchange of gunfire with the policemen were rushed to the hospital where they gave up the ghost while receiving treatment.

According to the statement, the Divisional patrol team from Otu-Jeremi police station on Saturday, August 28, 2021, while on stop and search duty along Egbo/Otokutu road received information that four suspected armed robbers who had earlier snatched two vehicles, a gold-coloured Toyota Camry with Reg. no.RSH 291 AW and a custom coloured Lexus 350 jeep with Reg. No. WWR 737 KL, abandoned the vehicles at Otokutu community due to suspected mechanical faults and were escaping in a tricycle.

“The team swung into action and chased the hoodlums but the gang on sighting the police team opened fire on them and in the ensuing gun battle the hoodlums were forced to abandon the tricycle.

“Two of the hoodlums escaped and ran into the bush while two others were fatally wounded and found in the tricycle with gunshot injuries.

“One Ak47 rifle with breech number not visible, an empty magazine, a cash sum of two hundred thousand naira and gold pieces of jewellery were recovered.

“The DPO Otu-Jeremi Division again led a combined team of police/vigilante to further comb the bush for the possible arrest of the other fleeing members of the gang and in the process recovered another AK 47 rifle with breach number NK344397 with two magazines and 3 live ammunition,” said the Command in the statement.
