Nigerian soldiers have arrested five robbery suspects at Felele, along Lokoja – Okene highway.

According to a statement by Texas Chukwu, the army spokesman, the suspects were caught wearing military camouflage and robbing innocent commuters.

Mr Chukwu, a brigadier-general, said three of them – Saviour Denis, 39 years, Isaac Donald, 35 years and Joseph Isah, 35 years were arrested while one Atsen was killed during an exchange of fire with the troops.

He said two female accomplices, Janet Isah and Oyinoye Ochefije, were also arrested during the encounter.

Mr Chukwu said the suspects were being interrogated and would be handed over to the appropriate authority for further necessary action.
