They were said to have specialised in robbing people of their phones, money, jewellery and other valuables.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Donald Awunah, told newsmen in Uyo on Friday that the two female armed robbery suspects were arrested on April 1, 2017 by a team of policemen attached to ‘Operation Impact.’
