A Junior Secondary School (JSS) 2 student, Atoo Aondoana, has been held by the Police in Benue State for his involvement in armed m theft along Makurdi Alaide highway in the state.

Aondoana alongside his co-conspirator, an elderly cleaner who works with the Nigeria Airforce in Makurdi, Peter Aghande, who is being held for supplying the military uniforms used for the robbery are presently helping the police with further information about their illegitimate activities.

In an interview with Royaloya.com the 18-year-old suspected robber in military uniform, who lives with his father, publicly confessed to the crime, detailing that he bought the military uniform from someone.

"We carry hunting weapons but I was not arrested with any weapon. I'm a secondary school student in JSS2 at Ikpayongo.

My dad is a farmer and I'm the only child of my mom who is now wedded to another man in Makurdi, " he told reporters.

Aondoana said he seems bad about his unwell behaviour, stressing that a friend introduced him to the robbery gang.

Aghande claimed that the Airforce personnel used to give him bad outfits to throw away and the boy begged him to give them to him rather than getting rid of them. "But I was shocked the day when I heard that the boy went to rob with it."
