Jigawa: Police arrest notorious armed robber

The Jigawa Police command has paraded a 25-year-old notorious armed robber Muhammed Bello AKA (Gwamna) who allegedly robbed many people of their properties‎.

Addressing reporters at the command headquarters Tuesday in Dutse, the commissioner of police Mr. Bala Zama Senchi said that the suspected armed robber has been on the wanted list of the police for quite a long time.

Senchi said the armed robber was arrested after conniving with one Shanono Ya’u who robbed one Dan Azumi Yusuf of Madobi‎ at his residence in the state.

He said the suspect also alleged to have confessed to have actively participated in other ‎robberies and snatching of motorcycles.

The commissioner said their effort in controlling the crimes and possible breakdown of law and order in the state by some Fulani herdsmen threatening to impose sanctions on some popular markets across the state has yielded fruitful result.

According to him, the herdsmen grievances stemmed from individuals and farmers encroaching into the government forest reserve where they used to rear their livestock for many decades.

The commissioner said the dispute was brought under control after Governor Muhammad Badaru Abubakar met with the Fulani herdsmen and other stakeholders and formed a committee under the Chairmanship of the Dutse Emir Alhaji Nuhu Muhammed Sunusi.
