 The Adamawa State Police Command apprehended four individuals for allegedly seizing a tricycle owned by Nuhu Muhammed, a commercial tricycle operator in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State. 

According to SP Suleiman Nguroje, the command's spokesperson, the suspects—Abdullahi Yusuf (22), Umar Yahaya (20), Hassan Ishaka (24), and Shuaibu Abubakar (19)—residents of Kwabura village, Hawal Local Government Area in Borno State, were arrested on Sunday.

Nguroje stated, "On April 7th, 2024, at about 0600hrs, Nuhu Muhammed, a tricyclist, raised alarm along Jimeta-Mubi Bridge after being attacked and robbed of his tricycle."

 Further investigations revealed that the suspects pretended to be passengers and boarded the tricycle, instructing the tricyclist to take them to a location in Viniklang, Girei Local Government Area. 

However, upon reaching the bridge, they forcibly removed the tricyclist, threatened him with weapons, and fled with the tricycle.

“A swift response from the Jimeta Division patrol team led to the apprehension of these suspects and the recovery of the tricycle.

“The Commissioner of Police CP Dankombo Morris, Psc (+), assured that the suspects will be charged to court for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, upon the conclusion of the investigation,” Nguroje said.
