Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have killed a notorious armed robbery suspect, Abdulmininu Bello a.k.a. Babanle, who was accused of leading his gang members to commit multiple armed robbery and vehicle theft operations in Abuja and its environs.

Confirming the incident, FCT Police Public Relations Officer SP Josephine Adeh said operatives of the Command, in a coordinated joint tactical operation led by the Scorpion Squad, successfully dismantled the gang. 

Adeh further said the gang had been on the Command’s watchlist, following incidents of armed robbery and vehicle theft traced to their network.

She said; “Upon receiving credible intelligence that the syndicate was planning to rob an unsuspecting victim around Maitama area on May 19, 2025, police operatives swiftly mobilised and intercepted them on the 15th of May 2025.

“On sighting the officers, the gang members opened fire. In the ensuing gun duel, one of the suspects, Abdulmininu Bello a.k.a. Babanle, was neutralised”.

Other members of the gang arrested at the scene include an ex-convict identified as Ibrahim Muhammad, 22 years, from Kebbi State; Abubakar Abdullahi, 22 years from Plateau State; Sarajo Yusuf, 20 years, from Plateau State; Isiaka Adamu, ex-convict from Bauchi State; Abdullahi Isah, 18 years, escaped detainee from Bauchi State; Sanusi Ali, a 51-year-old resident of Kano State and Abubakar Sani from Plateau State.

Exhibits recovered from the scene include a 2004 Toyota Camry LE, one red boxer motorcycle, two locally made pistols with ten rounds of live 9mm ammunition, four AK47 rifles and magazines, eleven (11) rounds of live 7.62 ammunition and one locally made shotgun.

Adeh further confirmed that leader of the gang, one Solomon Bawa a.k.a. Pastor Mogu, and one other suspect fled with gunshot injuries.

Meanwhile, the FCT Command has called on public, who may have come across anyone with suspicious injuries to report same to the Police for prompt investigations.

Police said all suspects were currently in custody and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.
