The Customs officer was said to have come into town from his work place and was riding on his motorcycle when the suspects pushed him off his bike and robbed him at gunpoint.

They were, however, caught by the police with the help of onlookers.

Confirming the incident, the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Fegge Police Station, Mr. Rabiu Garba, said: “We have received several reports of their activities since they came back and we have been trailing them.

“We have made it clear that no armed robber will operate in Fegge and go free; residents of Fegge must continue to enjoy zero-robbery and we must catch any robber that come into this division. We will charge these ones to court.”
