“Some of these armed robbers are giving us problems in Calabar municipality.
"These set of robbers were caught up in a gun battle with the police shortly after they robbed a filling station in Atu area of Calabar South.
"They had a shoot-out with the police and our men were able to gun down five of them. These were the same gang that we already have their profile.
"We have been on the watch out for them because they were the same people who snatched two AK47 rifles from our men.
"This is a pointer to the fact that the police and other security agencies will not rest until the state is free from all forms if criminalities."
