Recall that On October 12, 2022, at about 20:00hrs two residents, a male and a female, drove into a pharmacy in the Maitama District area of the FCT. While the female proceeded into the pharmacy, the male remained by the car waiting. It was thereafter reported that some armed hoodlums numbering about 6 came in a Mazda vehicle and forced him into Toyota Landcruiser Jeep with Diplomatic Registration Number GD CD 071, and took off with him. Unfortunately, a passerby who attempted to come to his aid was shot in the head and later confirmed dead at the Maitama District Hospital.

7 hours later, The painstaking effort of the Command yielded results as the vehicle was recovered at  Jabi magajipi, off Eco Bank Junction  Jabi, while one Emmanuel okoi, a 29 years old male resident of Jabi and a suspected member of the criminal syndicate was arrested.

As part of the investigation, an identification parade was conducted where the victim identified the suspect as one of his six abductors. An investigation has been intensified and unfolding facts will be communicated subsequently. 

The Commissioner of Police while debriefing the Officers charged them to not relent until fleeing members of the criminal syndicate are arrested and an end is brought to their criminal enterprise as well as other crime and criminality in the area and the FCT as a whole. He also wishes to reassure the good people of the Territory of the Command’s unalloyed stance to continually upgrade the security architecture of the Territory to proactively/actively match up and surmount crime in its dynamics.
