“Dumlebabari Wugah stated that he is the leader of a five-man gang that snatches cars from unsuspecting victims.
” He further stated that their modus Operandi is that they use the lady among them to disguise as a pregnant woman, under labour, which usually attracts sympathy from passers-by who will be forced to stop and offer assistance, whereupon they will be attacked and their cars were taken away.
“The duo will be charged to court tomorrow for the offences of Armed Robbery and Receiving Stolen property, respectively.
” The Commissioner of Police, CP Mustapha Dandaura is hereby renewing his call for support from the public in information sharing, while promising to sustain the onslaught against armed banditry in the State,” Omoni said.
