A suspect was killed on Saturday in Yola, a state of Adamawa, when a six -members gang hired police officers who were called to the scene where people stole.
“The command received a call from anguish from a worried citizen who reported that about six armed children Shila were attacking and stealing innocent citizens of their mobile phones and other valuables around Jimeta Bypass, near the Rake Yan market, Yola North Lga,” explained the Adamawa State Police command.
In a statement issued on Saturday night, the command said it hastened to the scene to repel the armed hand -robbery attack that the Shila Boys gang was carried out.
Signed by the Public Relations officer of the Command, Suleiman Nguurje, the statement recalled that upon receiving the report, the police commissioner, CP Dankombo Morris, immediately deployed the anti-vila team of the command to the scene.
“When observing our men, the thugs, in an attempt to resist the arrest, threw an attack, threw stones at the police and damaged the windshield of a police patrol vehicle,” said Nguurje.
He said it was during the confrontation that one of the suspects was neutralized, while the others escaped.
He listed elements recovered from the scene as a cutter, a pair of scissors and a large amount of illicit drugs.
