Niger: Trio Apprehended for Alleged N30m Truck Theft

Must Read

Three men are in trouble with the police because they are accused of taking a big truck that costs a lot of money. This happened on a road called the Kaduna-Abuja highway, in a place called Suleja, which is in Niger State.

The men are named Nura Ibrahim, Adamu Ibrahim, and Abdulfatai Ibrahim. They all live near a road called Kaduna Road in a place called Suleja.

There is a police officer named SP Wasiu Abiodun. He told everyone in a place called Minna about these men. He said they were caught because they were working together to do bad things, like stealing.

He explained that on October 14, 2024, in the afternoon, someone saw a big white truck. This truck had special numbers that can help people identify it. The numbers were engine number 071231 and chassis number AZ1642440082. The truck was found in a place where they fix cars on the Kaduna-Abuja road in Suleja. It seemed like this truck might have been taken without permission.

The police went to see what was happening and found out that Nura Ibrahim, who is 37 years old, had tried to sell the truck to Adamu Ibrahim, also known as Dan Borno. Adamu paid N9.5 million for the truck.

The men were already starting to take the truck apart to sell it piece by piece before the police arrived.

The police officer, SP Abiodun, said that an early investigation showed Nura took the truck from a place called Lugbe in FCT and brought it to Kaduna Road. Then, Adamu bought the truck even though he knew it was taken without permission. Abdulfatai also helped with this bad exchange.

The officer added that the men are being questioned, and they will go to court soon to see what will happen next.

SP Abiodun also shared another story. He said they caught a man named Jamilu Ismail, who is 32 years old, from Shaku village in Lapai. Jamilu had three phones that didn’t belong to him. Someone shouted for help when they realized their phone was missing, and the police found the phones when they checked Jamilu in Suleja.
