Is it better not to give birth than to give birth to an arm robber? Causing chaos and mayhem to the populace at large.

Nigerian police will act IF they really want to. If there's sufficient heat.

Unfortunately 2 people died in this incident.

I hope the intelligence report was right and not a mass raid by the NPF as damage control. I am a lover of good news and this is a welcome development if these are the real culprits.

Why are the images of the criminals not there? The police should do the needful and followed by the court to address the precious and a promising life that was lost.

What can be done to ever suffice? Can there ever be a perfect replacement for that beautiful life that was lost. May God ably suffice. 🙏

Good News And Nice One , But I Just Hope is An Innocent Man That Has Been Caught, Nigeria Police Are Capable of Anything And Everything
Re: Sommie Maduagwu: Armed Robbers Who Caused Death Of ARISE Journalist Arrested by DanseMacabre(m): 11:40am On Oct 09, 2025
Police don likely go raid black spot for Tauragora or Area One come dey implicate hapless drug users or small-time cultists, or even street boys wey dey cell because Dem steal goat. Na their modus operandi be that.

The irony's that police fit actually catch the real criminals if they want to, but some of them are in cahoots with the criminals.

It's great news if the actual culprits were apprehended though.

Technology has made things easy for security agencies Worldwide but I don't know why Nigeria Police only use it when there is Public out cry or when the victim is a VIP.

Good news but are you sure this is not going to be the case of picking so many 10, 11, 15 years boys from the street and and said they are the culprits of end bad governance protest?

Same police that can not arrest a bandit who came for peace meeting?

The business of armed robbery has officially been taken over by our brothers from the north, in times past it used to be rare to see this names in crime arrest, not surprising though because I once knew a security guard in a state in the north that sired 27 children, and only four were educated just at secondary school level among the whole lot, so he potentially has around 23 children to donate to gangsterism, bandits and boko haram.
