The Police Command in Kaduna State says that some of its operatives have foiled a robbery attack, recovered ammunitions, and an operational vehicle from the suspects.

The Command’s  Public Relations Officer (PRO), ASP Mohammed Jalige,  stated this in a statement he released to newsmen on Monday in Kaduna.

Jalige said that the incident happened on Sunday at Jada Road in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna South Local Government Area of the metropolis.

“On June 13  2021 at about 0500 hours, the Command received a distress call through the Divisional Police Officer in Tudun Wada, that some armed men had invaded Jada Road in a bid to commit the heinous crime in the area.

“In view of the report, some  Police patrol teams were immediately dispatched to the area.

“The Officers involved were very tactical in their responses and their operational sagacity succeeded in repelling the attack,” he said.

Jalige said that the operatives recovered   24 rounds of live 7.62 x 39mm ammunition and  30 polymer-cased 12-gauge shotgun shells from the suspects.

He said that a Toyota Corolla LE, Ash colour, with Reg.No. ABJ 704 MX; a driving license and some  ATM cards were also recovered from the suspects.

Jalige disclosed that some of the suspects escaped after sustaining bullet wounds.

“The Command is, therefore, requesting for information about any persons found with bullet wounds, such should be reported to the Police for immediate action,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Osun Police Command on Sunday said it foiled an attempted robbery and kidnapping, of motorists along Akure/Ilesa road, Iwarajta, by some suspected gunmen.

SP Yemisi Opalola, the Command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), made the disclosure on Sunday in Osogbo.
According to Opalola, suspected gunmen, at about 6 pm, on Saturday, came out of the bushes along Akure/Ilesha Road, stopping vehicles in an attempt to rob and kidnap their occupants.
“But the quick intervention of the Police, JTF and other local security outfits prevented the gunmen from carrying out their nefarious activities”.
She said the police chased the gunmen back to the bushes and an intensive manhunt is ongoing to ensure that the gunmen are arrested.
