The Cross River state police command has arrested an ss2 student who allegedly doubles as the leader of a robber gang.
19-year-old Christian Donatus, a student of the Eastern secondary school, Ediba, Calabar, reportedly robbed a store belonging to former Cross River first lady, Obioma Imoke.
Donatus, an Imo state indigene, alongside his gang members raided the the Value Mart two weeks before they were apprehended by the police.
One of his accomplices identified as Ubong Bassey Essien was also paraded before newsmen at the police station.
According to the Cross River state police public relations officer, Miss Irene Ugbo, the gang had been terrorizing the city, breaking into homes and shops and robbing people of their valuables.
Here's what he said below:
"The gang shot a medical doctor at Akim Qua three weeks ago and also carted away safes at a shop along Marian Road, containing large sums of money. The suspect and one of his members were arrested on July 16 by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS. Efforts have been intensified to track down four other members of the gang who are on the run and we hope that very soon they will be arrested and brought to book."
