A statement on Wednesday by the state police spokesperson, Abdullahi Kiyawa, said a 50-year-old driver, Ya’u Inuwa, from the government house, was arrested.
Mr Kiyawa said the commissioner of police, Ibrahim Bakori, had ordered the closure of all entry and exit points in the state and directed the recovery of the vehicle and arrest of those involved.
“Following investigations, Ya’u Inuwa, a 50-year-old driver in the government house, was arrested in connection with the theft, and the vehicle was recovered in Unguwa Uku, Yan Awaki Quarters, Kano,” he added.
Mr Kiyawa said the suspect confessed to conspiring with two others, who were still at large.
