The Niger State Police Command has arrested seven robbery suspects in connection with a May 1, 2025 incident at APC quarters, Suleja, in which victims were robbed of their handsets and other valuables.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Wasiu Abiodun, in a statement, said all suspects were from the Galadima area of the FCT, Abuja.

According to him, upon receipt of the information on the robbery attack from the quarters, police operatives of ‘B’ Division Suleja were led to the scene by the DPO and one Mubarak Mohammed (16) was pursued and arrested.

In the course of investigation, Abiodun disclosed that the suspect confessed to taking part in the armed robbery, adding that he was part of a 13-member syndicate.

“He led operatives to the arrest of other six members of the syndicate,” he revealed.

The suspects include brahim Mohammed (20) the gang leader, Abdullahi Yakubu (18), Mohammed Abubakar (18), Nasiru Musa (17), Shamsudeen Musa (18) and Ahmed Ali, all of Galadima area of FCT, Abuja

The PRO said investigation led to the recovery of six cutlasses, three torchlights, charms, 14 handsets and four bags from their hideout under a mango tree along Abuja-Kaduna express road.

All suspects are under investigation and they will soon be transferred to SCID Minna for further investigation and prosecution.

Abiodun further disclosed the rescue of seven victims kidnapped on 3rd May, 2025 through combined efforts of the police and vigilante members, who mobilised for a rescue operation in Mashegu.

He stated that the police and vigilante at about 5:00 pm on same date trailed the suspected kidnappers to a forest within Tungan-Boka village where the hoodlums were engaged in a gun duel.

“Unfortunately, one Garba Mohammed was shot dead during the attack,” the PRO revealed.

Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing miscreants.
