The police command in Kaduna State said its operatives arrested an armed robbery suspect, while two others were still at large.

The command’s public relations officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, confirmed the arrest to journalists on Tuesday in Kaduna.

Mr Hassan said that on April 1, police operatives at Narayi Division, at about 2:00 a.m., received  a distress call from a good samaritan on Bilyaminu Street in Narayi, in the Chikkun Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “Some miscreants, numbering three suspects, alleged to be armed robbers with lethal objects, invaded an apartment belonging to Alhaji Muhammad and carted away his Samsung S22 model and other valuables.’’

According to him, during the criminal act, the victim was stabbed several times with a knife.

He disclosed that the arrested suspect named Nura Musa was from Hayin Dan Mani area in Igabi LGA.

“The suspect, Musa, was arrested and found in possession of the carted items and weapons, while his two other accomplices, Buhari Attah and Babangida DK, all of Hayin Dan Mani, fled the scene,” he said.

Mr Hassan said the victim was subsequently rushed to the hospital for treatment while the suspect was in police custody for further investigation.

”Efforts are ongoing to arrest the other fleeing suspects,” Mr Hassan said.
