Three suspects held for motorcycle theft, vandalism in Kano

The Public Relations Officer, SC Ibrahim Abdullahi, confirmed the arrest of the suspects in a statement released on Thursday.

He said the suspects allegedly vandalised and stole multi-million-naira transformer armored cables in the area. Unfortunately for them, they were apprehended at a location in the area, along with the individuals receiving the stolen property.

He listed the suspects as Lawan Ahmed of Unguwa Uku Quarters, Ahmad Yusuf of Kawo Quarters, Nassarawa Local Government Area, and Mujahid Kabiru of Kofar Waika, Gwale Local Government Area.

“The command has since launched an investigation into the case to make further arrests of individuals linked to the syndicate,” the statement said.
Similarly, the corps has also apprehended three suspected motorcycle thieves in Kano.

“Two of the suspects, Abdulrazaq Umar, 30, a resident of Sharada Ja’en, and Aminu Shehu Muhammad, 42, of Janbulo Quarters, Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State, are part of a syndicate that specialises in stealing motorbikes in the metropolis. The suspects were picked up at Unity Road, Kano while attempting to unlock a parked motorcycle at a nearby plaza,” Abdullahi said.

He added that the third motorcycle thief, Musa Ibrahim, 30, was arrested at Kwanar Gafan, Garun Malam Local Government Area.

“The suspect disassembled the bike’s key and stole it at Kwanar Garko, Garko Local Government Area of Kano, before his eventual arrest by NSCDC operatives.”

“The six suspected criminals are now in the custody of the corps’ investigation department, and upon completion of investigations, they will all be charged in court,” Abdullahi said.
