Police operatives in Enugu have recovered a gun and ammunition from fleeing armed robbery suspects in the state’s metropolis.
The spokesman for the state police command, Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Saturday men from the Awkunanaw Police Division recovered the gun on May 29.
He said the operatives responded to a distress call of a robbery in a compound at Awkunanaw at 10.00 p.m., and foiled the attack.
According to him, a locally fabricated double barrel gun with two live cartridges dropped by one of the fleeing robbers was recovered by the operatives.
The spokesman added that detectives from the Awkunanaw Police Division also arrested three suspects for theft of iron rails on May 30.
“Their arrests led to the recovery of yet-to-be-quantified pieces of iron rails vandalised at the pedestrian crossing bridge at Holy Ghost/Ogbete Market, Enugu,” Ndukwe said.
