According to the police image maker, the suspect who is a jail-bird, told the police during interrogation that he has in his possession mysterious criminal charms that always help him to detect danger ahead and also help him to evade arrests. He also claimed that the charms serve as bulletproof and protection in case of a gun-duel.

Kwaji, who is an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, fingered PATA as among the notorious group of five armed robbers who snatched a Lexus SUV with reg no. EG 897 ABJ belonging to one Alhaji Adamu Isah of Donga Road, opposite Deeper Life Church, Jalingo on August 8, 2014.

He said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
