In the course of preliminary investigation, the suspect confessed to the crime and established that if not for the expertise demonstrated by the officers of the So-Safe, no one will ever suspect him to have carried out the operation with the very rare style he adopted, Ganzallo said.
The suspect and the recovered exhibits – 1 Plasma TV, 3 cutlasses and 1 Jack Knife have been transfered to the Nigeria Police, Ajuwon Divisional Police Headquarters for further investigation and likely prosecution.
