You are right,
Police are very funny people, you can imagine that time in 2018 when my car was stolen, the police told me that one of the armed robber have been killed by Abuja police that they traced him by tracking and the IG demanded for him to be killed, I was very angry, I went to my lawyer but decided to let the case go, guess what? After one year and six months, the boy came back to town, that is police for you.
