Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Police Command in Bauchi State has arrested a 29-year-old man (name withheld) for alleged car theft in Bauchi metropolis.<\/p>\n

The Spokesman of the Command, SP Ahmed Wakil, who confirmed the arrest in a statement on Tuesday in Bauchi, said the suspect was arrested in possession of a stolen Toyota Highlander car with registration number: ABC 65 PK.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn February 24, 2024, operatives of the State Intelligence Department (SID) attached to the command acted on credible intelligence at their disposal to effect the arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect was arrested at the Bayan Gari area of the Bauchi metropolis alongside the stolen vehicle, a white Toyota Highlander, with registration number ABC 65 PK.<\/p>\n

\u201cA discreet investigation into the matter revealed that the suspect was employed as a driver by a company owned by his secondary school classmate, called Damuli Investment Company Ltd., in Maiduguri, Borno State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was further uncovered that the suspect fled with the car to Bauchi with the intent to sell it out for N2,000,000, and use the money to pay his house rent and to welcome his estranged wife back home, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Commissioner of Police, Auwal Musa, has directed further investigation to be extended to Borno State to explore and unravel motives behind the crime.<\/p>\n
