Spokesperson of the Command, Haruna Kiyawa, said the recovery and arrest were made in operations carried out between September 1 – 12, 2024, in a bid to addressing the remnants of the menace of mobile phone snatching/robbery bedeviling some parts of Kano State.

According to Kiyawa, the operation followed the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to all Police Commands and Formations to dominate public spaces against all forms of crimes and criminality.

He added that the state’s Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba convened a strategic meeting with all tactical units of the Command and directed that the remnants of the menace of thuggery (Fadan Yan Daba), mobile phone, armed robbery and snatching be decimated.

“Consequently, a series of targeted operations were carried out in the state that led to the arrest of a total of twenty-six (26) suspected mobile phone armed robbers/snatchers and recovery of one hundred and twenty-six (126) stolen/robbed mobile phones,” he stated.
