The son of an ex-House of Assembly member in Cross River State and two others have been arrested for alleged armed robbery. Daily Post findings revealed they were in a car driven by the son of the ex-member of the House of Assembly.
An
eyewitness, who gave his name as Francis, said the incident occurred at Chief
Obot Street Housing Estate, Calabar Municipal Local Government Area of the
state.
He alleged
that the six robbery gang attempted to attack a policeman at gunpoint while
carrying out a robbery attack on Sunday night.
The
eyewitness further said the gang was confronted by Operation Akpakwu, who later
arrested three after a serious gun duel with the robbers.
“One of the
armed robbers is a son to a former House of Assembly Member in the state. The
robbers were chased from State Housing by Chief Obot Street while they were
shooting sporadically.
“During the
process of chasing after them by the Operation Akpakwu team, the driver of the
vehicle lost control and ran into a deep gutter.
“Three of the
armed robbers were arrested, the other three escaped, one of them had bullet
wounds. The son of a former House of Assembly member was the person who drove
the car the robbers used for the operation,” the witness stated.
