THE newly posted Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, on Thursday, assumed duty in the state smashing two notorious gangs of armed robbers, who had been terrorising the state.
Lakanu, who spoke at the Command headquarters in Owerri, said he led a crack team of anti-robbery squad to the operation, which started at about 8.30pm, following a distress call by residents of Aladinma Estate in the Owerri metropolis.
“The gang was rounded up by the anti-robbery squad that stormed the area after a distress call. The armed robbers had already robbed one Mrs. Shirley Ugoeze before we got hold of them,” the state police commissioner said.
