The Kano State Police Command has apprehended Bahago Afa, a suspected criminal ring leader, along with six associates, on charges of armed robbery.
This comes after Bahago Afa, who had reportedly repented recently, was rearrested by the police.
The State Commissioner of Police, Usaini Gumel, revealed the development during a Friday parade.
Gumel noted the successful neutralization of criminal networks that had contributed to thuggery, armed robbery, and various criminal activities in the state.
Addressing the press, Gumel stated, “Already, there are over 700 repentant criminals on our lists, and anybody among them that dares to go back will be declared an enemy of peace just like Bahago Afa and others.”
He added, “Today, we have taken care of Daba ‘thuggery,’ but they are today carrying out robbery activities, and conducting an organized crime that is now nothing but robbery.”
Gumel said the commitment of the police to maintaining peace, urging citizens to assist in the apprehension of the remaining 72 individuals declared as enemies of peace.
“Anywhere police or any other person sees them, they should arrest them and bring them before the police,” he declared.
