The Nigeria Police Force has made a significant breakthrough in its fight against crime, arresting two suspected members of a notorious “one chance” robbery syndicate operating across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and surrounding areas.
The suspects, identified as 22-year-old David Francis and 36-year-old Emmanuel Ibenni, popularly known as “Markfish,” were apprehended on March 8, 2026, at Sambec Hotel in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, following credible intelligence.
According to preliminary findings, the duo belongs to a criminal network that disguises itself as commercial transport operators to deceive unsuspecting passengers. Victims are reportedly robbed, assaulted, and in some cases abducted after boarding the vehicles.
Authorities revealed that the gang has been linked to several incidents involving the theft of cash, mobile phones, and other valuables.
Some victims reportedly suffered serious injuries, while others were discovered dead after encounters with the suspects.
Multiple victims have since identified the arrested individuals, providing crucial information to support ongoing investigations. Efforts are currently underway to track down and arrest other members of the syndicate.
The Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its dedication to tackling violent crime and safeguarding lives and property across the country.
