Foiled Robbery Attack: Robber Mistakenly Shoots, Kills Partner During Robbery

An armed robber in Bayelsa has died from his partner’s bullet during a foiled robbery attack on one Francis Chibueze on Bakery Road, Azikoro village, Yenagoa.

Incident happened on December 22, 2017, around 8pm. Spokesman for the Bayelsa State Police Command, DSP Asinim Butswat, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the armed robber mistakenly shot and killed his partner.

He said:

A two-man robbery gang attacked one Francis Chibueze of Bakery Road, Azikoro village, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

As they were trying to attack their victim, one of the robbers mistakenly shot and killed his partner, while the victim, Chibueze, escaped unhurt.

“The deceased armed robber was identified as Thankgod Smith, a 25-year-old man. The partner who shot him has been identified as Peter Napoleon, 23,’’ Butswat told NAN.

He said the suspect came to the Azikoro Police Station on December 23, 2017, to turn himself in.
