Operatives of the Bauchi State Police Command have arrested a 28-year-old suspect and recovered a stolen motorcycle during a routine patrol within the Bauchi metropolis.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Nafiu Habib, disclosed in a statement on Saturday that the suspect, Hafiz Ahmad of Karofin Madaki, was apprehended at about 12 p.m. on July 4, 2026, by officers attached to the ‘E’ Division, Yelwa, along Yelwan Kagadama while riding an unregistered black Jiacheng ladies’ motorcycle valued at N450,000.
According to the police, the suspect admitted during interrogation that he stole the motorcycle from Unguwar Kusu in the Yelwa area of Bauchi.
