Destiny Kelly Chibuike, a student at the Department of Business Administration, was caught in possession of a locally made pistol, which he uses to rob members of the polytechnic community.

Reports quoting the school security say Chibuike has been handed over to officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Asaba.

Following the arrest, the polytechnic issued a statement warning students to stay away from vice and crime as they vowed to in their matriculation oath.

Meanwhile, a hunt has been launched for other members of the suspect's gang.

Last month, a  19-year-old Mechanical Engineering student of the polytechnic, Emmmmanuel Otu, was arrested by officer of the Lagos Command of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), for internet fraud.

Otu had created a Facebook profile of the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for fraudulent activities.

Also in May, a 25-year-old graduate of the polytechnic was among a gang of armed robbers arrested for stealing a Highlander Jeep and other valuables.
