Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said today 8th September, 2025 at about 8.45am, report received indicated that there was a robbery around Tunga Market, Minna where a Toyota Camry vehicle, ash in colour with four men crossed and blocked a mercedes vehicle.<\/p>\n

The PRO stated that the victim in the mercedes vehicle was allegedly robbed of a yet to be ascertained sum of money, when coming from the old city gate area.<\/p>\n

However, he disclosed that all Police patrol teams and Divisions were immediately alerted for quick intervention, immediate possible recovery and arrest of the suspected armed robbers.<\/p>\n

\u201d The Commissioner of Police has directed Area Commander Minna and DPO Tudun-Wada Division to quickly swing into action and ensure a forensic investigation with a view to arrest the culprits, while the victim is advised to officially report the incident in the nearest Police station, \u201d Abiodun added.<\/p>\n
