The Federal Capital Territory’s FCT Police Command has announced that its operatives, stationed at the Utako Divisional Headquarters, have arrested six individuals suspected of involvement in armed robbery.

A statement issued by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Josephine Adeh, said the coordinated raid operation was carried out on Tuesday. She said the suspects were nabbed in an uncompleted hospital building hitherto marked as a black spot in the Utako village.

The suspects include Basara Hassan, Daniel Charles, Adamu M. Oshiaka, Chancy Asidi, and Saliu Al Hassan, all from neighbouring states bordering the FCT.

The PPRO revealed that a locally made pistol, two live cartridges and wraps of substances suspected to be marijuana were recovered from the suspects.

According to her, further investigation into the recovered ammunition led to the arrest of another suspect, Yusuf Iliyasu, an ex-convict and the syndicate leader.

“While the investigation is ongoing, the Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, wishes to assure residents of his unwavering commitment to make Abuja a hell for criminals and to ensure the safety of all,” the statement added.
