The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested three suspected members of a notorious "one-chance" robbery syndicate allegedly responsible for the abduction and killing of Grace Godwin Alewa, a 23-year-old petrol station attendant.
Grace, who hailed from Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, was reportedly abducted on Friday, July 11, while returning home from work.
Police sources disclosed that the arrests were made through what they described as "actionable reconstructive digital intelligence."
The suspects are said to have made useful confessional statements linking them to the crime. The black Mazda 323 vehicle allegedly used in the operation has also been recovered.
Further investigations revealed that one of the suspects, Sunday Uduma, had previously been arrested on February 11, 2024, for a similar one-chance robbery and was remanded at the Keffi Correctional Facility.
It is yet to be determined how he regained freedom and resumed criminal activities.
The police stated that the suspects remain in custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
