The Police in Bayelsa State have arrested one Abraham Kalizibe, 34, a native of Etegwe Community, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State for alleged robbery.
Also arrested was an alleged armourer, one Abadi Prosper, 18, in whose custody two locally-made pistols and five cartridges were recovered.

According to the PPRO, Kalizibe is a member of a notorious armed robbery gang terrorising Yenagoa and its environs.
