The Kano State Police Command says it has arrested 15 individuals and recovered 20 stolen vehicles in various sections of the state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday in Kano.
He said the arrest and recovery of the stolen vehicles resulted from the command’s determination to end all forms of criminality in the state.
Kiyawa said, “We are fully committed to combating cases of theft of motor vehicles and all forms of criminal activities in our areas of supervision.
“In the last month, the police command consistently demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the protection of lives and properties of all residents of the state.
“This is in furtherance to the directives and vision of I-G Egbetokun to all police commands and formations to implement community-based policing, intelligence-led policing, and the display of professional competence for effective service delivery.”
While thanking the public for their understanding, collaboration, and support, the Commissioner of Police, Usaini Gumel, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to operating within the law.
He also advised everyone to continue reporting any suspicious movement, person(s), or item(s) to the local police station for swift security action.
