The Gombe State Police Command has successfully apprehended four individuals suspected of stealing armoured cables from community transformers in Hayin Kwari Misau quarters. The suspects, identified as Abdulkadir Abdullahi (25), Abdulmalik Hassan (25), Nafiu Babayo (28), and Abubakar Maigari (32), were arrested on Thursday following a tip-off from a local resident.

According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Buhari Abdullahi, Public Relations Officer for the Command, a community member, Abubakar Sulaiman, alerted the police after spotting a group of individuals in possession of stolen cables. Acting swiftly on the tip, a patrol team led by a Divisional Police Officer moved to the area and apprehended the suspects.

The stolen goods included 20 meters of 300mm armoured cable and 20 meters of 500mm armoured cable, which the suspects confessed to stealing from transformers in Gandu quarters. "The scene has been visited, and investigations are ongoing," Abdullahi confirmed.

The suspects are expected to face charges in court once the investigation concludes. DSP Abdullahi praised the community's vigilance in aiding the police and reaffirmed the commitment of the Gombe State Police Command to combatting crime. "We are determined to ensure justice is served and will take strong action against those involved in criminal activities," he added.

The police also called on the public to remain alert and report suspicious activities, assuring them of continued efforts to protect lives and property. "We will not tolerate any criminal acts in the state," Abdullahi emphasized.
