As reported by Daily Trust, he said this happened on Thursday, July 25, when a four-man robbery gang engaged the operatives who were on crime prevention patrol led by the DPO of the Mabushi police division in a fierce gun battle.
According to him, the robbery gang, on sighting the FCT police operatives, opened fire, which resulted in a gun duel where two among the robbers were neutralized.
As reported by RadioNigeria, the Force identified the suspects as Joshua Godfrey A.K.A. Dogo and Abdulsalam Mamuda.
“While during the crossfire with our men, two among the four-men robbery gang whose names were identified as Joshua Godfrey A.K.A. Dogo and Abdulsalam Mamuda both of Mabushi village were arrested,” he said.
Speaking further, he said a vehicle was recovered from the robbers.

The police commissioner, while reaffirming the command’s unflinching commitment to ensuring the safety and security of lives and properties, urged residents and all medical facilities in the FCT to be on watch out and to call the attention of the police to anybody sighted with bullet wounds.
