The Command’s spokesperson, CSP Mohammed Wakil, in a statement on Friday, said the incident was reported on July 25, 2025, by Alhaji Rabiu Ahmad, the chief executive officer of Arabab Investment Limited.

Ahmad had informed the police that unknown individuals broken into his warehouse in the Industrial Area along Gudum Road in Bauchi metropolis, making away with a truck with registration number MGU-95-ZF.

According to the complainant, the attackers tied up the guard, a 65-year-old Luka Galadima Mahaukata of Gudun Sayawa and inflicted injuries on him before fleeing with the vehicle.

Following the report, detectives were dispatched to the scene, and the injured guard taken to the hospital for treatment.

The police spokesman further said on July 29, 2025, the investigative team expanded their search to neighbouring states where the stolen truck was sighted in the Tabarakallah Area of Kano State.

Acting swiftly, the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Hassan Musa, led the operatives to the scene where the truck was recovered and the driver identified as a 38-year-old Sabo Alhassan was arrested.

In the course of interrogation, Alhassan confessed that he was hired to drive the truck and implicated his employer, Abubakar Shehu, a 34-year-old car dealer from Kumbotso, Kano.

Shehu was promptly arrested and, during questioning he disclosed that the truck was purchased from a 20-year-old Sadiq Abubakar, a 200-level student of Capital City University, Kano and a resident of Liman Mahmood Road, Kofar Dumi area of Bauchi metropolis.

“He (Abubakar) admitted to orchestrating the theft of his father’s tipper truck, valued at thirty million naira (₦30,000,000), and colluding with Abubakar Shehu, a car dealer from Kano State, to execute the plan. They are believed to have arrived in Bauchi around 10:07 p.m. intending to steal the truck,” the statement added.

Shehu who corroborated the statement of the prime suspect said he was misled by Abubakar, the biological son of the complainant, during a conference call with a friend named Bash.

“The suspects claimed that they inherited the truck from their deceased father and sought to sell it,” Wakil said.

The police spokesman said investigation was ongoing in the case.
