a.k.a "Ghana"
A statement
issued today by the Command's spokesperson,
ASP. Moses Joel Yamu, said the gun battle ensued when the Crack Squad
stormed a criminal hideout at a location on the border with Taraba State,
following a reliable information that Terwase Akwaza aka Ghana and his gang
members were holding a meeting.
The bandits
immediately opened fire on sighting the Police team and in the ensuing gun
duel, one Danladi Awudu aka Jerry who was hosting the meeting was hit by a
bullet while others escaped with bullet wounds as there were traces of blood
stains all over the place, however, he was confirmed dead on reaching the
hospital.
The team
recovered an Assault rifle No. 2051679 with one hundred and fifteen rounds of
live ammunition, ten live cartridges, assorted charms, two army camouflage
shorts and other items.
Search for
the fleeing members and the gang leader Ghana is ongoing.
Recall that
the police had declared "Ghana" wanted, in connection with the March
20th killing of 17 persons by gunmen in Zaki Biam, Benue.
