The seized motorbikes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Information reaching DGN Online<\/strong><\/em> indicates that in the early
\nhours of Thursday, June 27, 2019, police and some suspected armed robbers
\nexchanged gunfire on the Savelugu-Walewale highway.<\/p>\n

The shootings occurred after the robbers blocked the highway and attempted
\nrobbing passengers traveling on that stretch.<\/p>\n

When Police got to the scene, the robbers, numbering about six, had lined up
\nvehicles and started robbing the travellers.<\/p>\n

DGN Online <\/strong><\/em>gathered that the robbers opened fire on the police
\nprompting the latter to return fire and chasing the robbers who fled into the
\nbushes. <\/p>\n

The robbers accordingly abandoned three motorbikes at the scene which are
\nnow in police custody. <\/p>\n

Police suspect some of the robbers might have escaped with gunshot wounds.
\nThey have therefore called on individuals, hospitals, herbalists and other
\nhealth facilities to report suspicious injuries for necessary action. <\/p>\n

The Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Yusif Mohammed
\nTanko, who confirmed the incident to DGN Online <\/strong><\/em>entreated
\ncommunities around Savelugu to be on the lookout for strange and suspicious
\npersons in their communities and report same to police. <\/p>\n

DSP Tanko also entreated the public to assist the police to trace the owners of the seized motorbikes.<\/p>\n
