The Niger State Police Command has arrested a 33-year-old suspected armed robber, Abu Abdulrahman, from the Mando area of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

Abdulrahman was involved in robbing traders transporting 64 bags of soybeans from Kano to Lagos.<\/p>\n

The arrest followed a report of criminal conspiracy and robbery lodged at the Police Division in Mokwa town, the Headquarters of Mokwa Local Government Area in Niger State.<\/p>\n

DSP Wasiu Abiodun, the Police Command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, PPRO, announced the arrest while parading the suspect during a press conference at the Police Headquarters in Minna, the state capital.<\/p>\n

According to Abiodun, the suspect, along with his accomplices, targeted a truck bearing registration number KMC 613 ZR loaded with approximately 700 bags of soybeans en route from Kano to Lagos.<\/p>\n

The truck experienced mechanical issues at Tunga-Ruwa village via Mokwa, allowing the robbers to strike.<\/p>\n

Armed with dangerous weapons, the assailants, who arrived in a J5 Peugeot vehicle with registration number KJA 127 YC, immobilized the truck\u2019s crew and offloaded 64 bags of soybeans into their vehicle.<\/p>\n

Abiodun said police intercepted the J5 vehicle around Lafiagi in Mokwa.<\/p>\n

During the operation, Abu Abdulrahman was apprehended while his accomplices managed to escape.<\/p>\n

In his statement during police interrogation, Abdulrahman implicated others involved in the criminal act, mentioning a buyer of the stolen soybeans in Kaduna, Adamu from Zaria, and two other accomplices currently at large.<\/p>\n

The police are conducting further investigations into the case to apprehend the fleeing suspects and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n
