Hassan said, “At about 0310 hours on Thursday, while conducting a routine patrol near the Agoro Level Crossing area, a team from the Tudun Wada Division in Zaria, intercepted a suspect identified as Babangida Sani, 37, from Faskari Local Government Area in Katsina State.”
“The motorcycle’s driver, upon witnessing the search, fled the scene but was promptly arrested and taken into custody by the officers, “he said. Hassan said, “Further investigations led to the arrest of three suspects: Sa’ad Abdullahi, Salihu Musa, and Usman Zubairu Ganu, all from Zamfara State. Consequently, they arrested three armed men on a motorcycle seen heading through a known bandits’ route towards the Eastern Bypass.“Acting swiftly on this information, the DPO mobilized a combined team of police patrol officers, a military strike force, and local vigilantes.
