The Kogi State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers along the Anyigba-Egume road in the Dekina local government area. The suspects were apprehended during the nationwide enforcement of the Third-Party Insurance policy.
According to Police spokesman, William Ovye, the arrests occurred while officers from the Ayingba Division were conducting the exercise along the Harbour Bay-Egume Road. Two young men, identified as Mohammed Chelim and Oneh Mohammed, were seen exhibiting suspicious behavior on a motorcycle. They were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for their actions.
