The Jigawa state police command arrested several suspects and recovered stolen items, including motorcycles, a car, iron rods and dangerous drugs in different parts of the state.
This was revealed by the spokesman for the command, SP Shi'isu Lawan Adam, in a statement issued Thursday night.
According to him, recent operations have led to the dismantling of multiple crime unions, following timely intelligence, community support and rapid action of police personnel.
One of the most prominent aspects of the operation occurred on June 15, 2025, when the police received a notice from a Kazaure resident about a robbery.
According to the reports, the unknown thieves had divided into two houses and had made two red motorcycles: one day and a boxer.
“After a rapid action of Kazaure Division and Vecindarium Surveillance personnel, the two stolen motorcycles recovered successfully,” Sp Shi'isu said.
Just two days later, on June 17, security guards at a railroad construction site in Kazaure put the police about the suspicious movement.
The officers intercepted a Honda Accord Blanco with the registration number KZR 626AA, loaded with 23 pieces of 45 -inch iron rods, worth around ₦ 300,000.
According to the reports, the car took five passengers. “The driver and another escaped, while the remaining three were arrested,” police spokesman revealed.
Additional investigations presented an internal work: an employee of the company had supposedly colluded with the suspects to steal and divert the iron rods.
The exhibition recovered and now four people are under investigation.
Also on June 20, a Honda Civic was stolen from Yalwawa's car wash.
Acting on credible intelligence, the police tracked the stolen vehicle to the mechanical village in Dutse, where they arrested Musbahu Yakubu, 38 years old from Jahun. The suspect is in custody, and the case will be transferred to the Scid Dutse to obtain more actions.
A few days later, on June 27, two residents of the Kamai village in Miga Lga were ambushed by thugs in Rami Bush and stolen from their Red Boxer motorcycle.
Police, working alongside Hantsu Security Watch, quickly became action. His efforts led to the arrest of Haruna Adamu, 17, from the settlement of Kokosu Fulani.
The officers recovered both the weapon used in the attack and the stolen motorcycle. An investigation is ongoing.
In a separate operation on June 28, the police raided Gidan Ruwa in Kazaure and arrested Shamsiyya Muhammad, 28.
She was accused of recruiting women and young people in criminal activities, pretending to be a vulnerable widow.
According to the reports, a search in his house discovered 18 sealed wraps of dry -sided dried leaves of Indian hemp, along with other illicit drugs. The investigations are in progress.
In another case, a commercial motorcyclist was deceived and stolen by a suspect identified as Ibrahim Muse, 25, of Hadejia LGA.
The suspect allegedly attracted the cyclist to the city of Yalleman under false pretensions and fled with the motorcycle.
Fortunately, a cycling partner gave an alarm, and a crowd pursued him. They updated with the suspect near the Dakaiyawa elementary school and hit him before the police arrived.
The officers rescued him, took him for medical care at Nuhu Alfa PHC, and then arrested him. The motorcycle recovered in good condition.
The attached police commissioner in charge of the operations, DCP Murtala Tijjani, praised the dedication of officers and community surveillance groups for their collaboration and resistance.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the command to fight against all forms of crime through proactive intelligence and rapid response.
He also urged the public to stay attentive, inform suspicious activities and avoid taking the law in their own hands.
