The Kano State Police Command has arrested two individuals, Umar Aliyu, 25, and Sabiu Kabiru, 27, both residents of Gunduwawa Village in Gezawa Local Government Area, in connection with a burglary and theft operation.
The arrests were made on August 7, 2025, following intelligence received by the State Commissioner of Police.
A search of the suspects led to the recovery of 23 stolen mobile phones, including 10 Android and 13 keypad phones, three Point-of-Sale (POS) machines, 17 Opay instant debit cards, three MP3 players, eight phone batteries, and a power bank. Initially, the suspects claimed that the items were stolen from a business center in Dinyar Madiga Village, Takai Local Government Area, but further investigation revealed inconsistencies in their statements.
To assist in identifying the rightful owners, the recovered items will be displayed at the Bompai Police Headquarters in Kano. Residents who recognize any of the items or have information about their ownership are encouraged to visit the headquarters or contact the Investigation Police Officer.
Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori commended the operatives for their professionalism and reiterated the Command’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of lives and property in Kano State.
