A middle-aged man, identified only as Arogoy, has reportedly handed his son over to the police in Delta State for his alleged involvement in robbery.
Arogoy’s son, David, had reportedly been on the wanted list of the State Police Command for armed robbery.
On March 14, David was said to have returned home very late at night with bullet wounds on his body.
Following his arrival, his father reportedly turned him in at the Ekpan Police Division in Uvwie Local Government Area, LGA, of the state.
According to the father, his son had returned home ‘in agony’ in the wee hours of the said day and “I had to report the case to the police for my own safety,” The Punch quoted the father to have said.
Arogoy stated that based on the information he got, David and his gang members, had gone on a robbery operation at the Edo Guest House in the said LGA where they ran into the police and during a shootout, the gang leader identified as Oga Kenneth, was reportedly killed.
David escaped with the wounds in the process, only to be sent to the police by his father on his arrival at home.
The Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of the division, Chris Sorgbara, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), who confirmed the incident, said David was under police investigation whilst he received treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
According to Sorgbara, the victim’s father also informed the police that his son had been in the armed robbery business for long and he did not want to be seen as aiding and abetting his child.
