Police Arrest 3 Shilla Gangsters In Adamawa

The Adamawa State Police Command, in collaboration with members of the community who keyed into the Command’s Community Policing Initiative, has arrested three suspected Shilla boys for involvement in armed robbery, housebreaking and theft.

The suspects – Auwal Inusa, Huzaifa Ahmed and Lukman Abdullahi – all residents of Nassarawo Ward, Yola North LGA, were apprehended on January 5, at about 3am after they allegedly armed themselves with offensive weapons, including cutlasses, daggers and knives, and broke into a certain house situated along Nassarawo, Jimeta, where they robbed occupants of their valuables.

Members of the community intercepted and arrested three out of the four suspects while one escaped.

Items recovered from the suspects include two handsets, a power bank, one cutlass, and two knives used in committing the crime.

The Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, commended members of the public for their vigilance and cooperation and urged sustained collaboration with the Police through prompt reporting of suspicious movements.

The suspects will be charged to court upon completion of investigation.
