The 4th Brigade of the Nigeria Army has busted a police robbery gang purportedly led by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Okubopagha.
The Army said ASP Okubopagha and Inspector Okoro were from the ‘B’ Department of the Bayelsa State Police Command.
Narrating how the suspects were smashed, the Commander of the 4th Brigade, Pat Akem, who spoke through the unit Public Relation Officer, Capt. Roseline Managbe, said the gang was exposed following the arrest of one Nanagha Aduoumemi, who claimed to be an Inspector in the ‘A’ Department of the Bayelsa State Command.
Capt. Managbe said ASP Okubopagha was nabbed by troops of the 222 Battalion at Orhoror junction along Bomadi road in Delta State when he blocked traffic with logs of woods while other members of his gang hid in the surrounding bushes.
She said the Inspector was arrested as he attempted to run into the bush while other members of the gang escaped into the creeks.
Capt. Managbe added that “The suspect revealed that members of his gang are all serving police personnel who indulge in robbery activities after their normal police duties.”
We are not surprise, that is their work. They thought that place is Rivers state.
Everybody knows that Nigeria police are all rogues and armed robbers, I’m glad this ones met their waterloo, hope d rest get smashed too.
Breeze go blow foul nyash go open…eyahh sojo na nw una kno? Police na big crimo…Black Uniform Black mind
Nigeria don’t do background check before recruiting police.
All police men are criminal even d overall, dis is sabotage bad Gov’t bd leader were are we?
I wish many people read my comment some time last week, in response to the Police Service Commission proposal to recruit more Policemen. Well there is an adage in my place that says “antelope that went to market did come back and you ask mgbada to go when you know there is tiger on the road”Personel audit,screenig of serving officers and men for proper identification confirmed by a traditional ruler of the community the person comes from,certified by Local Government Chairman,and Town Uninion President may help to reduce hiring of robbers as policemen.
I shall like this my comment to be repeated so that authorities may see it
With all this my question is, are we going backward or forward? See another crisis in River state, an alligation involvd police who wil not beliv it now? God pls we need ur action over dese.
Na today?all those police men u c are criminals.it happens everyday at d highway.everything about nigeria is corruption.may God have mercy on us
Larger % of people recruited into d police a criminals, no background check, bribe ar taken b4 they recruited then wht do u expect. Garbage in garbage out.
