Per his submission, he said that the police killed two suspects as a result of the clash.
He said;
“The command received a distress call at the early hours on Thursday that armed gang numbering eight, stormed the Amagba community to rain terror on the residents.
My men mobilized quickly to the scene but on sighting the police, they engaged in a gun duel but through the help of community policing, they were able to foil their attack.
Two of the robbers died on their way to the hospital but we arrested one of them who sustained injuries, he has actually made a very useful confession that will assist us in the course of our investigations in the view of arresting the remaining five.”
