The arrests followed the recent report of miscreants’ clashes, thuggery, and pockets of tricycle robberies in parts of the metropolis.

LEADERSHIP findings revealed that areas within the state capital such as Stadium Junction, Limawa, Angwan-Daji, Bosso road, Flamingo junction, Morris junction, and Barkin-Sale have witnessed restiveness accompanied by snatching of motorcycles, mobile handsets, and tricycles in recent weeks.
