According to Hassan, the incident unfolded on May 27, around 6:30 PM, following a tip-off from a concerned citizen. The informant reported being asked to retrieve a Lexus LX470 Jeep from a mechanic, suspecting the vehicle was stolen and promptly notifying the police.
The vehicle was subsequently recovered and taken to the Magaji Gari police station in Kaduna metropolis. During a search, the police found the vehicle’s particulars, which included the owner’s name and contact information. Upon contacting the owner, it was revealed that the car had been stolen at gunpoint by five armed men at his residence in Utako, Abuja.
Acting on this information, the police mobilized their surveillance units and arrested the suspect, Mubarak Kabiru from Kano, along Alkali Road in Kaduna. A search of Kabiru’s room at Ishacool Hotel, Kabala Doki, Kaduna, led to the recovery of an anti-tracking jammer.
This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in combating international car theft operations, highlighting the importance of community vigilance and prompt reporting to the authorities. The recovery of the anti-tracker jammer also underscores the sophisticated methods employed by car theft rings, necessitating advanced and proactive measures by law enforcement agencies.

He said the initiative is part of efforts to strengthen climate resilience, tackle environmental degradation, and promote sustainable land use in the state.

He added that the project is not only focused on land recovery but also on boosting agricultural output and improving livelihoods in affected communities.
Sani also noted that the state is supporting the programme with empowerment initiatives, including training over 500 women, youths, and school feeding vendors in biomass briquette production.
According to him, the effort is already helping to reduce dependence on firewood while creating alternative sources of income for beneficiaries.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has described moves to prosecute former Senate President Bukola Saraki and former Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed over alleged culpable homicide as an attempt to reopen the 2018 Offa robbery tragedy for political purposes.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Friday, the party’s spokesperson, Olusegun Adewara, said the development is a disturbing and dangerous politicisation of a case they claim has already been addressed through judicial processes.
He warned against dragging the state into fresh tension, accusing the state government of attempting to revive old allegations for political advantage.
Adewara said the PDP would not remain silent while what he called “political narratives” are used to influence public perception around a tragic incident that claimed multiple lives in Offa in 2018.
He also urged residents, especially affected families, not to allow their pain to be used for political gains, insisting it is unjust to associate Saraki with the crime.
The party further alleged that the move is aimed at distracting attention from governance challenges in the state.
