The syndicate, led by 19-year-old Shamsiyya Adamu, was uncovered following months of public complaints about rampant mobile phone thefts in Kano metropolis.

According to a statement by the Police spokesperson in the State, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, Shamsiyya, a resident of Brigade Quarters in Kano, employed a tricyclist and a cybercriminal to aid her operations. Together, they targeted residential houses, deceiving housewives and stealing their mobile phones before withdrawing money from their bank accounts.

Her arrest on December 21, 2024, marked the culmination of an investigation led by a special intervention squad set up by the Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba.

Four other suspects were also arrested in connection with the crimes. They included Idris Yusuf, 23, a tricyclist who transported Shamsiyya to the crime scenes; Al’asan Dahiru, 24, who specialised in disposing off the stolen items; Abdulmajid Haruna, 27, a buyer of stolen goods, from whom six mobile phones were recovered, and Salim Auwalu, 21, who specialised in withdrawing money from victims’ bank accounts.
