The Gombe State Police Command has arrested suspected armed robbery suspects, recovered a stolen vehicle and seized suspected housebreaking tools in separate operations conducted within the last 24 hours.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday, saying the operations reflected the police’s commitment to protecting lives and property across the state.
According to the statement, police operatives arrested one Micah Nuhu over alleged armed robbery and causing grievous bodily harm after he reportedly attacked a woman, identified as Mama Kingsley Joseph, with a pestle before fleeing with her purse.
The stolen purse was later recovered, while the victim was taken to the Cottage Hospital, Bambam, for medical treatment.
