Wednesday, March, 4 2026 - The Bayelsa State Vigilante Security Service has apprehended two suspects, Emmanuel Oweibena and Charles Francis, both 21, for allegedly running a tricycle-based robbery syndicate in Yenagoa.
The suspects were arrested on Monday, March 2, 2026 at the
Tombia–Etegwe Roundabout following credible intelligence and sustained
surveillance.
The suspects reportedly operated together, with one driving
a tricycle while the other targeted unsuspecting commuters to steal mobile
phones, cash, and valuables.
Their capture was prompted by information from a victim
robbed along the Melford Okilo Expressway last year.
During interrogation, the suspects confessed to years of
engaging in criminal activities.
They have since been handed over to the Nigerian Police
Force for further investigation and prosecution.
Chairman of the vigilante service, Hon. Doubiye Alagba,
emphasized the organization’s commitment to community safety and urged
residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
