A notorious armed bandit who escaped from
the police cell in Mamfe has been arrested by the Police in Kumba. Agbor Nazi
Taku was arrested in the evening of 31 March 2016 along the KumbaMamfe
road.
According
to the commissioner of the Kumba Central Police station, senior superintendent
of Police, Wilson ELungNjumenjikang, the bandit had on the night of 10-11 March
2016 escaped from the police cell in Mamfe taking along one of the automatic
pistols which was fully loaded with ten (10) bullets. The
bandit at the time of his arrest had already used one of the bullets.
The
Commissioner narrated that as soon as Agbor Nazi escaped from the Mamfe cell, a
warrant of arrest was immediately issued to all the security posts in the
Region.
He
said after serious interrogation the bandit admitted that he stole the gun and
successfully escaped from Mamfe to Buea where he formed a gang to go back to
Mamfe for another operation. He also planned to take away the life of the
police officer who caused his arrest and detention in Mamfe.
Agbor
Nazi and his gang had set out for Mamfe when the police intercepted their hired
taxi cab in Kumba. Agbor Nazi was
arrested while his two accomplices succeeded to escape.
At
press time, Agbor Nazi has been transferred to the Buea prison pending trial.
It
should be noted that the police in Kumba arrested another gang of armed bandits
that was operating in a house at Buea road Kumba. The bandits were transferred
to Buea. But one of the gang members, Mbah Comfort was strolling freely in town
saying that “Kumba police refused money but their Buea colleagues have taken”.
