In a statement released on Sunday in Dutse, the state capital, the PPRO said the first incident happened on March 5, 2025, when an okada rider, Idris Ya’u, was attacked and his Bajaj red motorcycle, registered as TRN 704 QL Kano, was stolen.

“As a result, the cyclist fell unconscious, and the suspects fled with the motorcycle. The victim was rushed to the hospital for treatment.
“The police command has commended the efforts of the vigilantes who collaborated with them to apprehend the perpetrators.”
