Philomina who was oblivious of their plan, came down from the car and as soon as she stepped down from the vehicle, the hoodlums sped off with the victim’s bag containing the sum of Four hundred thousand naira (#400,000). She immediately raised alarm which attracted the attention of well meaning individuals who pursued the suspects up to Nkwelle community where police patrol team attached to 3-3 Division intercepted them and arrested the following suspects
