carried out by IGP’S Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and Technical

4. It is pertinent to state that Humphrey Aimudo organized the gang
that robbed and killed the Custom officer on the 22/12/2016 while he
closed from duty on his way home. The suspects confessed to have
information that the custom Officer had in his possession four million
Naira cash and some Dollars and this prompted the attack and killing of
the officer after they snatched the bag containing some money from the
officer.
All the suspects volunteered confessional statements admitting the
various criminal roles they played in the commission of this heinous
crime. They will be arraigned in court on completion of investigation
for murder, armed robbery and conspiracy.
5. The success recorded in this case is a clear testimony to the
fact that no matter how a suspect tries to hide from being arrested, he
would be eventually arrested and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to
would be criminals. 6. The Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K.
Idris, NPM, mni, is hereby assuring all Nigerians of adequate security
and commitment of the Nigeria Police to work assiduously to further
reduce crimes and criminality.
