“Two of the suspects are Abdulrazaq Umar, 30, resident of Sharada Ja’en and Aminu shehu Muhammad, 42 of Janbulo quarters, in the Gwale Local government area of Kano State.

“The men are members of a syndicate that specialized in stealing motorbikes in the metropolis and they were picked up on Unity road, Kano while unlocking a parked motorcycle in a nearby Plaza in the area,” Abdullahi said.

He said the other motorcycle thief, one Musa Ibrahim, 30 was arrested at Kwanar Gafan, Garun Malam local government area.

“The suspect disassembled the bike’s key and stole it at Kwanar Garko, Garko local government of Kano, before his eventual arrest by operatives of NSCDC.

“The six suspected criminals are now in custody of the Corps investigation department, and after completion of investigations they’ll all be charged to court,” Abdullahi said.
