The Police in Delta State on Thursday said their men have recovered N117,000 cash out of the N900,000 an armed robbery victim said he lost to armed robbers on Wednesday in Warri.

The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Celestina Kalu, told our correspondent that the police at Enerhen had gone after the robbers soon after the victim reported the incident to them.

The hoodlums on sighting the patrol team around Hotel De Mark Warri opened fire on the team and in the ensuing gun battle, one of the hoodlums later identified as Alex Akuraku after Udu Bridge, was caught in the cross fire and arrested, while the rest escaped.”
