The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Celestina Kalu, said the deceased, Mudiaga Ajuwe, and his gang, had forced one Oyeh Happy at Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area, to an ATM machine where they compelled him to withdraw the sum of N27,000 for them from his account.
She said the victim had immediately afterwards alerted a nearby police patrol team from Agbarho Division, which gave the robbers a chase.
“The patrol men pursued the armed robbers. On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums opened fire on them. In the process, one of the hoodlums, identified as Mudiaga Ajuwe, was shot and arrested while others escaped.
“However, the injured suspect died on the way to the hospital. Items recovered from the deceased include one cut to size single barrel gun with four cartridges,” the PPRO said.
