The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested the mastermind of the foiled robbery of a first-generation bank in the Mpape area of Abuja last Saturday.

The suspect, a barman identified as Ernest was nabbed at his hideout by police detectives and is presently being held at the command headquarters by old CBN building, Garki, Abuja.

The police had earlier arrested four suspects and gunned down the fourth member of the robbery gang identified as Patrick during the operation.

The FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, had on Tuesday paraded the gang members including a bank employee, Larry Ehizo, Timothy Joe, Princewill Obinna, and Elijah David.

Ernest Ewin told the police his side of the story in the failed robbery. Ehizo who drove the gang members to the bank in the robbery expected to rake in N7 million said he lied in his first statement.
