A thorough search of the suspects led to the recovery of a cache of arms and ammunition, including:

1. Three (3) locally made revolver pistols
2. 12 live ammunition of different calibers
3. Three (3) cartridges
4. Two (2) cutlasses
5. Four (4) knives
6. 24 pieces of ball bearings
7. Cash sum of ₦1,028,800

The suspects are currently undergoing interrogation at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Upon the completion of the investigation, they will be charged to court for prosecution.

The Kano State Police Command has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling crime and urged the public to continue providing useful information to aid law enforcement efforts.

Crime remains a very massive industry I doubt if there'll ever be an end to that multi million dollar industry

While I agree that crime is universally constant, the variety found in the north and most Muslim dominated areas of the globe is really mind boggling

The reason Kano is largely bandits free. They arrest them on time and deal decisively with them unlike other northern states. Kano is the real capital of Nigeria, Abj is just figurehead.

Gotcha!

Let Shariah law be used on them ASAP.

I know we'll all agree to this.

Good job ...if criminals are crushed when they're going about their evil work of gathering arms and ammunition, the society will never experience serious issues related violate crimes and insecurity

Who are the makers of Ak47 etc?

I hate this word arrest…
What we want to hear is bandits killed in action…
If you catch them alive, they should not be reported alive . They should not be allowed to live

They should be killed immediately, their bodies becomes government properties, remove their functioning organs and donate to better humans that need them…
