The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, said this on Saturday in Kaduna.
Mr Hassan said the arrest took place following a credible intelligence report at about 1:30 hrs on May 20.
He added that the suspect, Naim Mikaila, a resident of Kajuru in the state, was found in possession of 100 pieces of railway tracks.
He stated, “During interrogation, Mikaila was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the possession of these items, leading to the suspicion that they were stolen property.’’
Mr Hassan said that the state Commissioner of Police, Ali Dabigi, urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or miscreants to the police.
“The suspect will be charged to court soon to face the full weight of the law, “Mr Hassan said.
