…..Following the directive of the Commissioner of Police CP Auwal Mohammed Musa psc to mop up criminal elements hibernating around Yelwa Axis, the Command has arrested five suspected miscreants including an 18yrs old girl for Criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, receiving stolen property, and causing grievous hurt.

While confessing during interrogation, the 18-year-old girl confessed to have taken Okada from Awala roundabout to Yelwa area with the intention of snatching his motorcycle as screemed with her boyfriend. The prime suspect, Sani Abdullahi who works as a carpenter, confessed to having masterminded plan and connived with his girlfriend, Florence to execute it.

Consequently, Investigation revealed that the said Sani Abdullahi had previously conspired with Umar Saidu, Adamu Musa, Bello Adamu, and three other suspects who are now at large and robbed the following persons;

1. Murtala Yusuf ‘m’ aged 47yrs of Baffajo Road Yelwa of his Haojue motorcycle valued N 380,000, but sold it N80, 000 to one Adamu Sabiu who was equally arrested.
