Michael Adikwu, an ex-policeman, declared wanted in connection with the Offa bank robbery has been arrested.
Adikwu while in the employ of the force was last attached to the Kwara State Police Command and was said to have been dismissed from the service in 2012 for helping some robbery suspects to escape from custody.
Consequent upon his undignified act, he was reportedly arraigned in court and remanded in a prison, where he spent three years before he found his way out and formed a robbery gang with others.
The suspect was arrested on Tuesday in a town in Kwara State by the DCP Abba Kyari-led IRT operatives, who acted on a tip-off from members of the public who saw Adikwu’s picture among those declared wanted.
In a statement on Friday, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Jimoh Moshood, released the pictures of four members of the gang captured in the CCTV footage and declared them wanted.
