The Suspects, according to the statement, are Bagir Magaji Muhammad, a resident of Layin Chinko; and Zaradeen Hadi, a resident of Sohon Kasuwa, both in Yola North local Government Area.

The statement explained that the suspects had paved the path to their own arrest when on Monday, November 4, 2024, they trailed and robbed one Habiba Umar of her handset using offensive weapons.

The Statement said when the matter was reported, the suspects were promptly traced and intercepted by detectives of the anti-narcotics unit of the Command.

“Investigation so far led to the recovery of the robbed handset, one sharp knife and a horn,” the police added.
