The Nigeria Police Force, Nasarawa State Command, on Thursday, says operatives of its anti-robbery team on an intelligence patrol along Fadama Bauna intercepted a group of three young men suspected to be armed robbers ridding on an unregistered Bajaj motorcycle.
According to a press release signed by police spokesman DSP Ramhan Nansel, the hoodlums abandoned the motorcycle and took to flight on sighting the Police men, but were given a hot chase.
Consequently, the police said one Kabiru Alhaji Yusuf was arrested while two others escaped. A search was conducted on him where one AK-47 riffle and a motorcycle were recovered as exhibit.
In another development, on 6th of January,3024 at about 5:30pm, one Muhammed Haladu ‘M’ of behind Ozas Hotel, Karu Abuja was arrested on full military camouflage at Awe LGA by two soldiers who came home on pass and handed him over to the Police at Awe Division.
The suspect claimed to be a soldier attached to 231 Battalion Biu, Borno State, but investigation proved otherwise. The criminal defrauded unsuspecting members of the public under the pretext of securing employment into the Nigeria Army.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect attempted to join the military but couldn’t, thus, went to military barracks to purchase the uniform he’s using for his nefarious activities.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Umar Shehu Nadada, while commending the officers, tasked them not to relent in the fight against criminals in the state.
