The Benue State Community Volunteer Guards (BSCVG) special team has in the early hours of today  again arrested two suspected criminals with two locally made pistols at Yaman Park, Wurukum, Makurdi for snatching mobile phones and money from travelers.

The suspects who gave their names as Ugba Terese,  popularly known as (Big Sharp) of St Augustine Church Demekpe, Makurdi, and Orjime Ahamgba Kanyima of behind Navy Barracks Kanshio, Makurdi.

When quizzed, both suspects admitted snatching a phone from a traveler who alighted from Kano last night, as well as collecting Twelve Thousand Naira (N12,000) from another traveler last week at gun point.

They explained that they normally convince travelers with tricks who eventually become their victims. In their words "I begged him to let me make a call with his phone and he obliged. Then, my friend followed him with slaps  in the face. Out of fear, he ran away leaving us with the phone".

During  the interview, the two suspects said they were on the job spanning into years, but however begged for forgiveness from their victims, BSCVG, Police and the public, saying they would desist forthwith if forgiven.

Parading the suspects at the BSCVG State Operational Office Railway Station Makurdi, the Patrol & Gaurd Officer (P&G) who is also the leader of the team  Officer Ime Nathan along with the Principal Staff Officer (PSO) to the Commandant officer Adi Titus all reiterated their commitment to intensify such operations, promising that no stone will be left on turned to wiping out criminals in the state.

Ime said they will handover the suspects to the police to continue investigation and subsequent prosecution after the parade even as efforts were still on to tack other members of the sindicate.

When contacted on phone, the Commandant of BSCVG Capt Ayuma Ajobi (Rtd) said so far, he was so impressed with the team for their stride and called for support from the public to volunteer information that will lead to more arrest of the criminals causing unrests amongst travelers and other peace loving citizens of the state.
