A police sergeant attached to Agbor Division in Delta State on Thursday killed an armed robber operating with a Lifan motorcycle.
The gang was robbing residents at old Lagos/Asaba Road in Agbor and shooting sporadically to scare people away when the Sergeant confronted them.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Celestina Kalu, at the command headquarters in Asaba said the NCO was returning from night duty when he ran into the hoodlums.
“The NCO courageously confronted the armed robbers and gunned down one of the hoodlums while others escaped,” Kalu said.
She listed the items recovered from the deceased criminal to include one cut to size double barrel gun and three live cartridges.
She said efforts are on to track down the fleeing suspects.
