One of Nigeria’s most wanted robbers, Afam Omoba alias Obosi, was arrested after he was allegedly shot by a member of his own gang during an operation  in Enugu.

According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ebere Amaraizu, Obosi who has evaded the police for several years, was robbing a residence with his cohorts when a young man in the house resisted the hoodlums and tried to fight back.

During the confusion, his cohort tried to shoot the the young man but missed the target and instead shot Omoba in the leg.

The sound of the gunshot attracted the attention of the people in the neighbourhood and they decided to flee, alerting the police in their wake, who in turn chased down the fleeing thieves.

The policemen combed the bush towards the direction the hoodlums ran and eventually arrested Omoba who could not run far because of his injury.
