Two robbery suspects, who allegedly specialised in drugging taxi drivers operating at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, before stealing their vehicles, have been arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

A source said the suspects identified as Sanusi Balla and Nurudeen Ibrahim, ran into trouble when they drugged and killed a soldier, Sergeant Richard Akaeze, and stole his Peugeot 406 saloon car.

The source said the suspects, who normally tricked their victims to drinking joints around the FCT, where they would have their drinks or food drugged before leaving with their vehicles, made a mistake when they met Sergeant Akaeze and gave him an overdose of a drug that killed him.

The suspects were said to have buried him hurriedly in a yet-to-be disclosed site and his phones and car, which he was using for taxi, were stolen.

When Inspector-General of Police Adamu Mohammed was alerted about Akaeze’s disappearance by his colleagues in the Army, a few days after he failed to return from his taxi’s business, the IRT operatives headed by Abba Kyari were directed to investigate and unravel the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

It was gathered that Akaeze’s stolen phone was tracked when the operatives began investigation and it was discovered that it was used by one of the suspects, Balla, who owned a car stand in Kaura Local Government Area of Zamfara State and was equally a worker (clerk) at the local government secretariat.

Balla, who confessed after his arrest that his friend, Ibrahim, who he said is based in Abuja, gave him the phone when he brought a Peugeot 406 for him to buy, said he didn’t buy the vehicle because he had no money at that time.

Balla said besides his car selling business and local government job, he had taken part in several car thefts with Ibrahim at the FCT where they drugged their victims before stealing their vehicles.

But he said he didn’t take part in the operation in which Ibrahim drugged and killed the late soldier, stole his vehicle and his phone found on him.

A source said Balla aided the police in arresting Ibrahim in Abuja, but he denied meeting, drugging or killing Sergeant Akaeze when he was interrogated. He, however, admitted that he was in the business of drugging and stealing from unsuspecting taxi drivers operating in the FCT and his targets were greedy taxi drivers, who have uncontrollable appetite for free drinks.
