They say that everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owner of the house. There is a new twist to the usual robbery incident stories we hear.
Nemesis
has caught up with a suspected robber, Chijioke Ikechi, as a victim bit off his
ear lobe during a robbery attack on a residence at Ukaegbu Road, Ogbor Hill,
Aba, Abia State.
Ikechi and three other
members of his gang had invaded the residence, dispossessed their victims of
N300,000 and inflicted a machete cut on a resident, Ndubuisi Mba.
Vanguard gathered that
residents of the area sent a distress call to a police patrol team as one of
the victims held on to Ikechi after biting off his ear lobe, while other
members of the gang fled on sighting the police.
A resident told Vanguard: “We
heard shouts that armed robbers were robbing near our house and called the
police, who did not waste in responding.
“When they saw the police, some of the armed robbers
ran away. The victim held on to one of them and the police arrested him. We
commend the Police team for responding to our call.”
Police Public Relations
Officer, Abia State Command, Ezekiel Udeviotu Onyeke, a Deputy Superintendent
of Police, who confirmed the incident, said the police recovered a machete and
an iron pipe fitted with wood, resembling a gun from the gang.
The police spokesman added
that Mba, who sustained a machete cut, had been receiving medical attention at
an undisclosed hospital in the area, and appealed to the public to volunteer
useful information that could help to nab fleeing members of the gang.
