Two men who were on the police wanted list as suspected armed robbers in Adamawa State have been arrested.

The state Police Command announced on Friday that the suspects were seized by operatives who acted under Operation Sanity Mubi in Mubi town.

State Police Public Relations Officer SP Suleiman Nguroje, who made the disclosures, named the suspects as Abdulhamid Salihu and Bello Yahaya.

Nguroje said the two were arrested following a robbery that took place in the early hours of Wednesday, June 10, at Unguwar Kara in Mubi.

The suspects, with two accomplices still at large, allegedly attacked a man named Mustapha Ali, inflicted injuries on him, and stole his cash and other valuable items.

“Through sustained intelligence‑led operations, police operatives attached to Mubi South and Mubi North LGAs tracked and apprehended the suspects and recovered stolen mobile phones, jewelry, handbags, travelling bags, and the weapons allegedly used in committing the crime,” Nguroje stated.

He assured that as the investigation continues, efforts are being intensified to arrest the fleeing suspects.
