A FEMALE robbery suspect, Joy Ugoro and three other accomplices, Eso
Esoh Ekoh, Imoke Bassey, and Emmanuel Ohi Euba, said to be members of a
notorious robbery gang in Calabar have been arrested by the Police in
Cross River State.
Joy and her gang were alleged to have robbed and raped one Chima
Ogiuke of Catholic Church Essien Town and Chineye Uzoegbu of Flour Mills
all in Calabar in the first week of September 2014 and carted away
three plasma television sets, one IPad phone, two air conditioners,
refrigerator, wearing apparels and other valuables.
The spokesman of the Cross River State Police Command, Hogan Bassey who paraded the robbery suspects, said the gang specialises in robbing people around Flour Mills, MCC Road, and Parliamentary Road . “These people have made life a hell for the people of Parliamentary Village, MCC Road and Flour Mills by constantly carrying out raids in those areas, prompting the police to undertake sustained efforts by our foot and vehicular patrols which led to the arrest of the hoodlums.”
Joy confessed that the items they robbed from their victims were sold at give- away prices in and outside Calabar. “We sell plasma Tv for N5,000 and Ipad phone for N3,000 or N5000 naira and we pack house hold items because people do not keep much money at home these days.”
The Police spokesman also stated that a 30- year- old man, Joseph Edet Essien, suspected to have kidnapped a 3-year -old girl, Dorcas Michael Udofia, and took her to Eziama in Abia State where he negotiated to sell her for the sum of N200,000.00 is now in police net.
“On the strength of the complaint, officers and men of this Command swung into action and the suspect was apprehended and the victim recovered and reunited with her parents.”
