The Kano State Police Command has apprehended a syndicate of six suspected car thieves and recovered three stolen vehicles, the command announced on Sunday.
CSP Abdullahi Haruna, the command’s Public Relations Officer, confirmed that the arrests were part of ongoing intelligence-led and technology-driven operations under directives from the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun.
The operation, carried out by the Special Intervention Squad under CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, led to the arrest of 35-year-old Aliyu Mamman at Hotoro Ring Road, Kano, on February 13, 2026. Mamman, a resident of Gusau Local Government Area, Zamfara State, reportedly confessed to stealing vehicles across Kano, Kaduna, and Katsina states.
He implicated his syndicate members—Abdulhamid Usman, Saliha Abdulhamid, Auwal Shuaibu, Sani Bala, and Ahmad Mannir—all of whom have since been arrested.
Three vehicles were recovered from the syndicate: a Golf Wagon, an Opel Golf, and a Hijet (Kurkura).
The Commissioner of Police commended the Special Intervention Squad for their professionalism and dedication. Residents were urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities via the nearest police station or the command’s emergency numbers: 08032419754, 08123821575, and 09029292926.
The command reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring law and order and a safe environment for all Kano residents, in line with the IGP’s vision of community-oriented policing.
