The Gombe state police command says its operatives arrested six suspects for armed robbery, criminal conspiracy, and culpable homicide within a week.
In a statement, Buhari Abdullahi, the command’s police public relations officer (PPRO), said the arrests were part of ongoing efforts to curb crime in the state.
Abdullahi said the suspects include Ahmed Shuaibu, 24; Abubakar Usman, 24; and Mohammed Nuhu Jibrin, 30.
One of their accomplices, identified as Habu, remains at large.
The police acted on a complaint by Isah Suleiman, a resident of Tudun Wada Pantami, who reported that a group of men broke into his home, threatening him with knives, machetes, and sticks.
The suspects allegedly stole several items, including a Heojue UD motorcycle, six mobile phones, jewellery, a bundle of wrapper, and an electric iron.
Following the complaint, officers from the Low-cost Division arrested Jibrin, which led to the capture of Shuaibu and Usman, along with the recovery of the stolen items.
The PPRO called on the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement, assuring that all information will be treated with confidentiality.
