Borno: Police arrest two men with 25 stolen phones
The police command in Borno has apprehended two suspects and recovered 25 stolen mobile phones during a stop-and-search operation along Damboa Road, in Maiduguri.
The police disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
The command explained that the suspects, identified as Ibrahim Abubakar and Ibrahim Mohammed, were intercepted by the Rapid Response Squad on December 10 while riding a tricycle.
During the search, the operatives uncovered various mobile phones reportedly stolen from individuals across communities and villages along the Borno-Adamawa border.
The command identified some communities as Mubi, Tashan Alade, Miringa, Kwaya Kusar, and Biu LGAs.
The spokesman said during interrogation, the suspects confessed to snatching the phones from their victims.
“The police have initiated efforts to return the recovered devices with their rightful owner. Also, the suspects will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations,” he said.
The command reiterated the commitment of police commissioner Yusufu Lawal to maintain public safety during the Yuletide season.
