The police in Katsina State got hold of fifteen people who they think did bad things in the area.
The police’s spokesperson, ASP Abubakar Sadiq, shared the news on Friday. He said they caught these people early in the morning on September 8th, 2024. The police in Funtua used smart information to catch them.
Among the fifteen, there was a group of seven men who the police believe are robbers. These men stopped a car carrying expensive materials, worth about N4 million, and took everything.
To stop the car, they put big rocks on the Kano-Zaria road. This made the driver stop the car. Then, they tied the driver and put the stolen materials into two cars they had. One car was a red Volkswagen Golf III with the registration number KMC 850 AJ, and the other was a gray Ford Focus with the registration number RBC 873 XP. The police found these cars and the stolen materials.
The police got back 94 bundles of wrappers and lace materials, plus two more bundles of other materials, all worth N4 million.
ASP Sadiq added that these men also stole food items like grains and cooking oil before. They used the same two cars to help them do the bad things. The police are still looking into it to find more information.
