The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Gombe State Command, has arrested five suspects linked to separate syndicates involved in the theft of motorcycles, mobile phones, and other electronic gadgets across the state.

The Command disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Buhari Saad.

According to the statement, one of the suspects, 19-year-old Haruna Hamman of Billiri Local Government Area, allegedly stole a Boxer motorcycle belonging to Adamu Buba of Lodongor on April 15, 2026.

The motorcycle was reportedly taken from the residence of Jauro Buba in Billiri at about midnight before NSCDC patrol officers recovered it later the same day in Gombe Local Government Area.
