Operatives of Ekpan Divisional undercover surveillance patrol team have killed a suspected armed robber while one cut-to-size double-barrelled gun with two live cartridges were recovered from the hoodlum.
First Class Gists gathered that the incident occurred on May 31, 2024, at about 21.40 hours.
Police sources who spoke with our correspondent said that the operatives while on a routine patrol along the Army Barracks Link Road, off Refinery Road, Ekpan, were double-crossed by a tricycle with three occupants in their usual style of robbing innocent citizens but on noticing they were policemen, the hoodlums took to their heels.
However, the police gave them a hot chase during which one of the suspects was arrested with a black bag. One cut-to-size double-barrelled gun with two live cartridges was recovered in the bag.
