to the bank to cash the money.“While they were away, the man decided to wrestle with me and at that time, I was having a knife in my hand.So I overpowered him, stabbed him and dumped his remains into the river”, he said.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Johnson Kokumo said that the policemen are not folding their arms and watch hoodlums have a field day.
Kokomo said; “Our main concern now, is geared towards re-arresting the escapees and recovering the looted and other illicit arms and ammunition in circulation. To this end, the police and other security agencies in conjunction with the State Government put machineries in place to checkmate the activities of these rampaging hoodlums, which have yielded some positive results.”
