The Nigerian Police said it has arrested the leader of a brutal robbery group in Abuja.
The gang was said to have perpetrated a cruel attack on a pregnant woman that tragically led to a miscarriage.
It was gathered that the development has generated a lot of controversies.
The police spokesman Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, also confirmed the incident through his official X account this Sunday.
Speaking about the heinous act, Adejobi noted that the suspect attacked the pregnant with a wheel spanner, causing her to lose the pregnancy in the process.
“This is a ring leader of one chance robbery gang in Abuja. He used this wheel spanner to beat a pregnant woman (one chance victim) until she had a miscarriage. The woman had been waiting for a child for more than eight years,” Adejobi wrote.
The suspect, whose name remains unknown, pending the outcome of investigations, is being tried for the incident and has been arrested for similar offences.
“This is wickedness. Anyway, he’s having a trial in the court and has been arrested for the same offence again,” Adejobi added.
