16-year-old Leader Of A Robbery Gang Arrested In Calabar

Christian Donatus, a Senior Secondary School, 2 student of Eastern Secondary School, Ediba,
Calabar, had allegedly led his syndicate
to raid a shop, Value Mart, owned by the former First Lady
of the state, Obioma Imoke, two weeks ago.
The suspect was paraded alongside one of his
accomplices, Ubong Bassey Essien, on Wednesday before
newsmen at the Command’s headquarters.
Parading the 19-year-old man, the Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Ms. Irene Ugbo, said the suspect who hails
from Akokwa, Imo State, had been terrorizing various parts
of the city, raiding homes, shops and commuters and
dispossessing them of their valuables.
She said, “The gang shot a medical doctor at Akim Qua
three weeks ago and also carted away safes at a shop
along Marian Road, containing large sums of money.
“The suspect and one of his members were arrested on
July 16 by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad,
SARS.
“Efforts have been intensified to track down four other
members of the gang who are on the run and we hope that
very soon they will be arrested and brought to book.
