The Gombe State Police Command has arrested two suspects, Ibrahim Umar and Usman Abdullahi, for alleged criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, and theft.
State Police Public Relations Officer, Buhari Abdullahi, confirmed the arrests in a statement this Tuesday.
Abdullahi revealed that the suspects were apprehended on February 7, 2025, following an investigation into a complaint lodged on February 4.
The complainant, Abdulbasid Haruna, reported that unknown persons broke into his home on February 3 at around 1:00 a.m., stealing valuables worth ₦3,200,570, including laptops and mobile phones.
Using advanced tracking technology, police traced and recovered the stolen items, which had been sold for just ₦80,000. The suspects later confessed to the crime.
Meanwhile, the police are still searching for a third suspect, Ibrahim Danmariya, believed to be the receiver of the stolen goods.
Abdullahi urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, assuring that all information would be treated with confidentiality.
