Security agents have arrested three suspected pickpockets
within the premises of the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) National
Convention in Abuja, after they were caught snatching handsets at the gate.
A security agency, who spoke on anonymous condition, told
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja, that the suspects took
advantage of the commotion at the Eagle Square gate to snatch the mobile phones
from their victims.
“The three of them are operating in a syndicate, snatching
people’s mobile phones and money.
“They took advantage of the mad rush by delegates at the
gate to snatch phones and money.
“What happened was that they didn’t know that we have
stationed eagle-eyed policemen at the gate watching as delegates entered the
venue.
“So that was exactly what happened, our officer caught them
in action after they had snatched individuals’ mobile phones,” he said.
The officer said that the suspects would be taken to the
police headquarters for further investigation.
