Operatives from the Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have arrested twin brothers for alleged theft of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card in Abuja.
The Commissioner of Police (CP) in charge of the FCT, Mr Benneth Igweh, said this during a media briefing on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the suspects were arrested on Aug. 27 for allegedly executing a plan to swap ATM cards and withdraw money from unsuspecting victims’ accounts.
The CP also announced the arrest of a Nigerian Navy Sea Man for the alleged murder of Aminu Ibrahim, the son of a late Admiral and snatching of his SUV Prado, in Maitama, Abuja.
The suspect, according to him, was arrested on Aug. 23 during a routine stop and search operation.
He said preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect was on guard duty at the residence of the retired naval officer and that the vehicle belonged to the late Aminu Ibrahim.
The CP said the suspect confessed to being a member of a three-man gang specialising in armed robbery and snatching luxury vehicles.
He said efforts were ongoing to apprehend the remaining gang members, and the suspects will be charged to court upon completion of investigations.
