Ali Kwara recovers General’s car from robbers
Page 2

Foremost crime buster and hunter, Alhaji Ali Kwara, has cracked down a robbery gang and recovered an army General’s car snatched at gunpoint by the robbers in Jos.

Kwara, who is also the Special Adviser to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Aliyu Modibbo, on Security, said the robbers snatched the car of Brigadier General Habiba Garba of the Nigerian Army.

He said they are the very same gang who recently attacked the National Assembly accountant, Alhaji Sani Tukur.

The crime burster confirmed that the army officer fought gallantly before the criminals overpowered her and sped off with her car including the particulars, documents and a mobile handset.

He also said they recovered six guns in the army-green peugeot car, saying the robbers are deadly and had very sophisticated firepower.

"When we overpowered the robbers, we searched inside the car to see if we can get a clue regarding the ownership of the recovered vehicle. So, we got her mobile phone and we put a call through one of her contacts who in turn notified her to the development," Kwara said.

Kwara said his team and the Inspector General of Police anti-robbery squad attached to him ambushed the robbery gang along Kaduna-Abuja road and engaged them in a gun duel but he said no life was lost.
