The Police Command in Niger State says it has arrested four suspects for criminal conspiracy and theft of motorcycles in Minna and other areas.

This was contained in a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Wasiu Abiodun, on Thursday in Minna.

Abiodun explained that on October 3, at about 9 pm, a direct complaint was received that one Michael Isah (23) of the BYJ area of Kwamba, ran away with his friend’s TVS motorcycle.

He explained further that the motorcycle’s registration number is ABJ 402 MV and it is valued at over N1 million.

“On receipt of this, police operatives of Maje Division swung into action and were on the lookout for the suspect and the motorcycle.

“Fortunately, on October 4, at about 11:30 a.m., the said motorcycle was found with Abubakar Mutawakil of Kwamba, who was making efforts to get a buyer for it.

“He was immediately arrested, and he confessed to the crime. He also led the operatives to arrest Michael Isah, who gave him the motorcycle for disposal,” he said. (NAN)
