Vigilantes have arrested two young men, identified as Isiyaku Musa and Yohana Danjuma, for allegedly attempting to burgle a provision shop in Kwaita village in the Kwali Area Council of the FCT.

Yahaya Shuaibu, a member of the vigilante group in the area, said the incident occurred on Saturday, around 11:12 pm.

He said the suspects were arrested during a vigilante patrol when they invaded a newly opened provision shop located along Kwaku road in the community.

He explained that the suspects were caught with a sledgehammer and a cutter while trying to destroy the shop’s keys when the vigilantes suddenly arrived.

“It was upon hearing the strange sound that one of the vigilantes flashed a torchlight. They tried to escape but were immediately apprehended,” he said.

A police source at the Kwali division, who preferred anonymity, also confirmed the arrest of the two suspects for attempting to burgle the shop, saying the suspects will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.
