In a statement issued on Friday, the spokesman of the command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, stated that the notorious robbery suspects were arrested by Operation Sanity in Mubi, Adamawa State.
“The suspects, Abdulhamid Salihu alias (Baban Anty) and Bello Yahaya alias (Baban Yambiyu), were arrested following a robbery incident that occurred in the early hours of June 10, 2026, at Unguwar Kara, Mubi.
“The suspects, alongside two accomplices currently at large, allegedly attacked one Mustapha Ali, inflicted injuries on him, and dispossessed him of cash and other valuables.
“Through sustained intelligence-led operations, police operatives attached to Mubi South and Mubi North tracked and apprehended the suspects.”
The statement disclosed that exhibits recovered include stolen mobile phones, jewellery, handbags, travelling bags, and the weapons allegedly used in committing the crime.
