He said, “Like the Offa bank robbery, we have also made similar breakthrough in the Lapai banks robberies and some of the suspects have been arrested.”

The AIG disclosed that the suspects were not paraded in order not to jeopardise investigations, saying, “For security reasons, sometimes especially if some of them are still out there, we wouldn’t need to reveal our strategies, but I can assure you that we are working assiduously to pick everybody involved in that heinous crime.”
