Jude Tersoo, a National Youth Service Corps, member, has been arrested alongside an accomplice while trying to break into and rob an Automatic Teller Machine, ATM, in Kogi State.
Tersoo who is among the 36 suspects arrested in the last one week in the state, was caught with a locally made gun.
Addressing journalists on arrested criminals in Lokoja, the Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, said that the culprit, Akah Jude Tersoo, who was posted to the state for the one-year national service, was caught alongside an accomplice, Godwin Idih, on April 26th around 2.30am.
Inalegwu said the arrested men were caught while attempting to break the ATM belonging to the EcoBank with digger and axe with the aim to rob the bank.
“My men who were on patrol duty noticed suspicious movement at EcoBank branch, Ganaja junction, Lokoja, and stopped to observe.
“On close examination, they saw two individuals who were later identified as Godwin Idih and Aka-jude Tersoo.
“The police team promptly intercepted and arrested the suspects with the exhibits. But sadly, one of them is a serving corps member.”
