The female suspect was tracked down by the police operatives at the weekend after she allegedly stabbed and inflicted injuries on a yet-to-be-identified woman.

The Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Hafiz Inuwa, confirmed the report in a chat with journalists in Warri.

“These were armed robbers who were using a woman. It’s not a question of a notorious armed robber. It’s a gang using knife, stab people and rob them.

“Three of them were arrested. One out of them is a very young girl,” CP Inuwa said.

He further explained that the suspect’s duty “was to sort of deceive passengers, engage them in a discussion before they got carried away and rob them. They’ve been arrested and they’re in our custody.”
