A native doctor who has been using army uniform to rob, has been arrested by officers attached to the FCT Police command alongside his accomplice, Christopher Illia.

The native doctor who uses army uniform to rob was identified as Abdullahi Mudi and it was learnt that one of the strategies of the two man gang, was to dress in army uniform, pose as passengers by hailing a cab and strike with toy guns after they had entered the cab.

Punch reported that the suspects who recently stole three cars in the Federal Capital Territory and sold them in Kogi State, ran out of luck after Illia accosted a man along the road in the Garki area of Abuja and dispossessed him of N450,000 and two phones.

The victim of the last attack had reportedly parked by the roadside to urinate when Illia attacked him. Illia who was tracked down through one of the phones he allegedly collected from the man, could not drive and was said to have fled with the man’s car key and taken it to Mubi’s house, where it was later recovered by the police.

Mubi who was subsequently arrested, told newsmen that he was introduced to robbery in 2012 by a friend, who assured him that he would make more money in the act than working as a native doctor
