Two suspected robbers identified as Onyebuchi Ifeanyikwu, 40, and Anthony Sunday, 35, who specialise in stealing female jewelry and underwear are now cooling their heels in police net after they were arrested.

The pair were nabbed by men of the Abuja Police Command after they robbed a lady in a cab who was on her way to Nyanya, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

According to DSP Anjuguri Manzah, the FCT police spokesperson, items such as female underwear, four sharp knives, a nail, wood containing a nail, one screw driver and an Infinix phone were recovered from the suspects who were arrested following a raid on their hideout in Tungan Maje, a community within the FCT.

He said, “The suspects robbed and inflicted serious injuries on a lady, who boarded their car as a passenger en route Nyanya from Arab Road, Kubwa, on November 9, 2018 at about 5:30pm.

“Few minutes into the journey, the suspects diverted their victim to the Zuba axis, where she was robbed of her cash, phone, two ATM cards and other valuables before she was abandoned.

“She was rescued and taken to the Police Hospital, Deidei Barracks, where she was treated and discharged. Efforts have been intensified to recover items taken from their victim, which were said to be with one of their cohorts, who is now at large.”
