Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, confirmed the arrests in a statement on Tuesday, revealing that the operation was based on a tip-off from a concerned citizen.
“On July 7, 2025, around 12:00hrs, officers from Operation Hattara, led by CSP Ali Madawaki, acted on credible intelligence provided by a Good Samaritan,” Abdullahi said.
The police raided a suspected criminal hideout in Tudun Hayin Kwarai, Misau, Akko LGA, where they arrested two suspects — Misba’u Adamu, 25, from Alkaleri LGA in Bauchi State, and Adamu Ibrahim, 28, from Garko LGA in Kano State.
According to the police spokesperson, the duo confessed to breaking into the residence of one Mohammed Usman in Hayin Kwarin-Misau on July 6, at about 4:00am, where they stole two motorcycles: a Qlink Cassie (registration number ABC 484 WN) and a Hero Hunter (registration number GME 36 QL), collectively valued at ₦1.8 million.
The stolen bikes were later recovered from the premises of an individual identified only as Babangida, where they had been hidden. The suspects are currently in custody while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the gang leader and other accomplices still at large. They will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.
In a separate operation, another motorcycle was recovered during a routine night patrol in the Wuro Birji area of Akko LGA.
“At about 1:00am on the same day, a patrol team noticed a suspicious individual riding a black Jincheng Kasea motorcycle (registration number DKU 099 UK). Upon sighting the officers, the rider abandoned the motorcycle and fled,” Abdullahi added.
Although the suspect escaped, the abandoned motorcycle has been taken into custody. Investigations are underway to identify the suspect and return the bike to its rightful owner.
DSP Abdullahi urged residents to continue cooperating with law enforcement by reporting suspicious activities, stressing the command’s ongoing commitment to securing lives and property.
Guillermo Hoyos has said his long-standing friendship with Lionel Messi will not influence his decisions after being named head coach of Inter Miami CF.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Hoyos was unveiled on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the club confirmed the departure of Javier Mascherano due to personal reasons. Mascherano had led Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup title just four months earlier.
The Argentine coach previously served as the club’s sporting director and shares a relationship with Messi that dates back over 20 years, beginning at FC Barcelona’s youth academy.
However, speaking at his first press conference, Hoyos stressed that personal ties would not affect his professional duties.
He said their friendship is “non-negotiable,” but added that it would not translate into special treatment or constant oversight on the pitch.
While the club initially described him as an interim coach for upcoming matches, later updates referred to him as head coach, suggesting a more formal role.
Hoyos is expected to remain in charge until mid-year, before a new technical structure is introduced ahead of the Leagues Cup in August.
Inter Miami CF currently sit third in the MLS Eastern Conference after seven matches, keeping them in strong early-season form.
Messi, captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning side, remains central to the club’s ambitions as they continue their push for more silverware under new leadership.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Showunmi, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is well positioned to clinch the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a post on social media, Showunmi said Atiku’s political strength and preparedness give him an advantage in the emerging contest, while noting that former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi could emerge as his strongest rival.
He also observed growing political dissatisfaction across parts of the country, particularly in the North, saying both rural and urban voters are increasingly aggrieved.
According to him, these sentiments could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.
Showunmi warned political actors against neglecting loyal supporters, noting that shifting alliances could reshape the political landscape ahead of the polls.
He further described Atiku as fully committed and actively preparing for the race.
Highlighting key regions to watch, he said the South-East may play a decisive role, while the South-West remains unpredictable, and the North-Central could serve as a critical swing zone in the election.
