Odude explained that threat by the activities of this gang was what made the command to strategise, using highly reliable intelligence to get the culprit.
“This effort yielded positive result when the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad busted the armed gang and recovered their weapon as well as the stolen vehicle.”

He said: “The mode of our operation is that we used to snatched cars, and we will now use this car to rob another victim, we didn’t sell any car we snatched, we only used this car to rob another victim, but we sell the phones and laptop of our victims.”
