“The suspects were arrested following a distress call received by policemen at Sango divisional headquarters about 12:30 am, that a group of armed robbers numbering about 11 and armed with cutlasses had forcefully gained entrance into Balita Company and packing away motor engines, which the company sells.
“Acting on the distress call, the DPO Sango division, Saleh Dahiru, mobilized his men and moved to the area.
“On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums who came with a Mitsubishi Canter bus with number plate LSR 414 YF took to their heels, but they were chased and five among them were apprehended while others escaped.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the robbery incident was masterminded by the former Chief Security Officer of the company, who was relieved of his duty about three months ago.”
