A father has aided in the arrest of his two sons over involvement in armed robbery and gun battle with police at Bole in the Northern Region.
The sons were on the run after they robbed some commuters on the Bole-Sawla highway and a subsequent gun battle with the police.
They have been identified as Ibrahim Mohammed, unemployed, and Ali Mohammed who is an ex-convict.
One of the suspects, later identified as Ibrahim sustained a gunshot wound during the fire exchange before fleeing the scene of the robbery.
According to the father, he suspected his sons as responsible for the widely reported robbery attack when he noticed the gunshot wound on Ibrahim.
He, therefore, notified the police to verify or refute his suspicions.
The suspects were immediately arrested and Ibrahim confessed his role in the crime.
He mentioned his brother, Ali, and two of their friends as accomplices to the crime.
The two are currently in police custody for further investigation while a manhunt has been launched for the other suspects.
