  City & Crime reports that the spokesman of the command, SP Bright Edafe, disclosed this to newsmen in Asaba on Tuesday.

  Edafe said the late armed robbery suspect was neutralised by the operatives of Ekpan Division when he jumped into the bridge in an attempt to escape from his hideout along the NNPC Link Road.

  He said the suspect was confirmed dead by medical personnel at Ekpan General Hospital, where he was taken to for treatment.

  He added that he was arrested by the surveillance patrol team of the Ekpan division, who were on routine patrol along Army Barracks Link Road, off Refinery Road, Ekpan in Uvwie Local Government Area.
