Two suspects who are believed to be responsible for a robbery in Benin City, Edo State, have been nabbed by the Edo State Security Corps.
The Edo State Security Corps linked the suspects to a robbery at Aimas hair shop located in GRA, Benin city, after the store owner reported the robbery.
CCTV footage captured the suspects in the act.
The footage shows the moment the male suspect held a gun and used it to threaten sales personnel before locking them in an inner room while the female suspect grabbed about 90 hairs worth millions of Naira off the mannequin and stuffed them into a bag.
The suspects operated with a mini-bus painted in the state-approved colours.
Upon their arrest, 35 bundles of human hair were recovered from them.
The business owner thanked the security corps for their quick intervention. She explained that three suspects were involved – two men and one women – and hoped that the third suspect would be nabbed.
While the driver and the female suspect have been apprehended, the male suspect is still on the run.
Speaking while being paraded, the male suspect claimed he is just a driver who took the culprits to the destination after they sought his service.
The suspects, along with the recovered items, have been handed over to the Intelligence Rapid Response Team of the Nigerian police, the Edo State Security Corps disclosed.
