A middle-aged man, identified only as Arogoy, has
reportedly handed his son over to the police in
Delta State for his alleged involvement in robbery.

Arogoy’s son, David, had reportedly been on the
wanted list of the State Police Command for
armed robbery.

On March 14, David was said to have returned
home very late at night with bullet wounds on his
body.

Following his arrival, his father reportedly turned
him in at the Ekpan Police Division in Uvwie Local
Government Area, LGA, of the state.

According to the father, his son had returned
home ‘in agony’ in the wee hours of the said day
and “I had to report the case to the police for my
own safety,” The Punch quoted the father to have
said.

Arogoy stated that based on the information he
got, David and his gang members, had gone on a
robbery operation at the Edo Guest House in the
said LGA where they ran into the police and
during a shootout, the gang leader identified as
Oga Kenneth, was reportedly killed.

David escaped with the wounds in the process,
only to be sent to the police by his father on his
arrival at home.

The Divisional Police Officer, DPO, in charge of
the division, Chris Sorgbara, a Chief
Superintendent of Police (CSP), who confirmed
the incident, said David was under police
investigation whilst he received treatment at an
undisclosed hospital.

According to Sorgbara, the victim’s father also
informed the police that his son had been in the
armed robbery business for long and he did not
want to be seen as aiding and abetting his child.
