Woman leads gang of armed robbers in Akwa Ibom

The long arms of the law has finally caught up with a gang of armed robbers led by a woman in Akwa-Ibom State.
It was learnt that the culprits who are now cooling their feet in custody of the police in Ukanafun Local Government Area of the state specialise in snatching of cars, motorcycles and other valuable items from their unsuspecting victims.
Confessing to be a part of the dare-devil gang, Ubong Dickson, a native of Okoyo community, said he served as a linkman to other members.
The timely arrest of the Armed-robbers was successful due to the great efforts of Ukanafun Police Division and Rivers State Police Command.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Etim Dickson, the gangs; a woman and two men, were apprehended by his men at a black spot in Okoyo along Ukanafun-Azumini Road after a tip-off.
The police boss maintained that the arrest of the bandits was in good timing, as they are presently doing their best to purge the state of all forms of crimes, especially as the Christmas and New Year periods were fast approaching.
While assuring the residents of the state of tight security, Dickson also sounded a warning to all criminally-minded persons that the long arms of the law would soon catch up with them and their evil activities.
However, he stated that the arrested robbers would be charged to court as soon as the police concludes with their investigations.
