Asuspected armed traffic robber, Sodiq, jumped into the lagoon from the Eko Bridge to evade arrest, Police Commissioner Idowu Owohunwa said yesterday.
He said the deceased’s accomplice, Toheeb Abolaji, was arrested with a Spyder Victor pistol, a strange firearm that the police were still studying to know how it got into the country.
Owohunwa revealed this during the parade of 66 suspects arrested for various offences across the state.
According to him, operatives recovered the pistol on Wednesday following complaints from the public on the activities of traffic robbers.
He said the suspect claimed he knew nothing about the gun and that it was his deceased colleague who brought it.
“This is strange. It is a unique weapon. We are currently working to get to the root of this weapon. There were two suspects arrested and the other in an attempt to evade the police onslaught, jumped to his death.
“The other suspect arrested is aiding the police investigation and we have recovered some of the cartridges.”
