Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kano State Police Command has arrested 16 suspects for alleged armed robbery and kidnapping in different parts of the state.<\/p>\n

The State Commissioner of Police, Mr Hussaini Gumel, revealed this while parading the suspects, on Thursday in Kano.<\/p>\n

He said that operatives of the command arrested 11 suspected armed robbers, who specialised in cross border stolen vehicle trafficking, adding that the police succeeded in dismantling the syndicate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have arrested 11 suspects with recovery of two Revolver pistols and five stolen vehicles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, preliminary investigations revealed that the syndicate network have been in existence for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n

The police, he said, also busted many kidnapping networks on the eve of Christmas and New Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had apprehended a five-man kidnapper gang that have been terrorising residents of Rogo Local Governmnet Area and rescued two victims,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the suspects will be charged to court on completion of investigations.<\/p>\n

While commending the media for its support, Gumel urged residents of the state to cooperate with police toward building a crime free society.<\/p>\n
