Yobe State Police Command has disclosed that in collaboration with sister security agencies, arrested 30 suspects involved in criminal activities across the state.
State Police Command’s Spokesperson, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, made this known in a statement on Monday and made available to journalists in Damaturu.
Among those arrested he identified as 25-year-old Mohammed Garba and 22-year-old Ibrahim Mohammed for allegedly stabbing to death a man whom they broke into his house for theft.
“The Command sympathises with the bereaved family and assures the community of appropriate punishment on the culprits.
“However, most of the culprits arrested have served imprisonment terms in the past from similar offences”, he noted.
The PPRO statesd that items recovered from the suspects include: a knife and five cellphones of different brands.
“Meanwhile, discrete investigation has since commenced for subsequent prosecution as the command urges good members of the communities to support security agencies by providing useful information of any suspicious movements and criminals’ hideout”, he said.
