This operation led to the recovery of three vehicles confirmed to be stolen. The arrests were made as part of ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat vehicle theft, which has become a pressing concern for residents.

CSP Abdullahi Haruna, the Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, announced the arrests, indicating that the operation was guided by the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun. The initiative focuses on maintaining a sustained approach combining intelligence-led operations and advanced technology to track down criminals. During the operation, the lead suspect, Aliyu Mamman, was captured while attempting to steal cars at Hotoro Ring Road, revealing the ongoing threats faced by the community from such criminal activities.
