The Borno State Police Command has arrested six suspects in connection with the 
theft of a mobile phone and the unlawful withdrawal of N5.65 million from the victim’s
bank account, and has recovered the stolen phone and the money.

 

The command’s spokesperson, ASP Nahum Daso disclosed this in a statement released
on Wednesday, October 22.

 

According to the command, the incident occurred at about 9:00 am on October 13, 
when one Abba K. of Damboa Road, Maiduguri, boarded a commercial tricycle (Keke 
NAPEP) and discovered upon alighting that his Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone was missing
from his pocket.

 

Daso said he reported the incident to the command, following which the CP directed
operatives of the Command VCRU Unit (Crack) to commence investigation.

> among themselves,” the statement reads in part

 

The command said it has recovered both the stolen phone and the sum of N5.65 million,
adding that the case would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.
