The Kano State Police Command has arrested four suspected bandits and recovered weapons and cash during an operation in the Jarkuka area under the Mariri Division.
Acting on intelligence, police officers conducted the operation at around 4 p.m. on March 6, 2025, leading to the arrest of four suspects: Shukurana Salihu, 25; Rabi’u Dahiru, 35; Ya’u Idris, 30—all from Katsina State—and Muktar Sani, a resident of Yandodo Hotoro Quarters in Kano State.
Recovered items include three locally made revolver pistols, two cutlasses, twelve rounds of live ammunition of various calibers, three cartridges, four knives, four mobile phones, twenty-four pellets, and a vigilante group identity card.
Police sources said the arrests are part of ongoing efforts to curb crime in the state.
In a separate case, three suspected car thieves were also arrested, and two stolen vehicles were recovered.
The suspects remain in custody as investigations continue. They will be charged in court once investigations are concluded.
Residents have been urged to report suspicious activities.
