THE Jigawa State Police Command has arrested a suspected armed
robber, Muhammed Abdullahi,
who used a toy gun, a mask and an improvised
mobile ladder to terrorise and rob his client after repairing the
furniture in his house earlier at Takur Estate.
According to the
State Police Commissioner, Kayode Theophilus, his men went after the
suspect when his victim, Abubakar Yahaya, a lecturer at the Federal
University, Dutse reported the matter.
Yahaya, who was on hand
to identify the suspect, paraded along with other suspects at the police
headquarters, narrated his ordeal:
“At about 2.00a.m., my wife
was shouting and screaming on top of her voice, making frantic efforts
to wake me up that somebody had entered our house. I was fast asleep,
she shook me vehemently and I woke up only to see somebody standing in
front of my bed.”
He said he stood up and came out of the net and picked his phone and switched on the touch to flash at him. AshmarkOlakunle Blog
Yahaya recalled that the suspect shouted at him to drop the phone, which he told him couldnot happen in his own house.
Continuing, he said: “I told him it was either you or me today, for you
to come to my house at this hour. I attacked him and he shivered and
retreated to the compound. I went for my machete because he was holding a
machete and a dane gun.”
He said while he was at the rear end
of his car, the suspect was at the front. To instill fear in the
suspect, Yahaya brandished the machete and threatened him with it.
“I
told him I had a bigger machete and that I must give him a mark with
which I would use to recognize him. He started pleading that he was
sorry. That it was his first time.”
“I asked him how he got into
my house because I have a high fence. He said he used a mobile ladder. I
asked why in the entire estate he chose my own house. He said because
he saw me living a good life. Then I asked him to remove the mask so I
could recognize whom he was before letting him to go. So he removed the
mask and to my surprise, it was one of those that came to repair my
chair in the house.”
Yahaya indicated that at that point he collected the gun, the mask and the improvised ladder and reported to the police.
Theophilus explained that the suspect was also found to be in
possession of four certificates of State Origin of Jigawa, Katsina,
Kaduna and Kebbi. He said his men also arrested five suspected armed
robbers from Babura after a tip-off from a good Samaritan.
The suspects included Yahaya Ado, Haruna Idi, Haruna Sule and Sanusi Yahaya.
Theophilus also paraded four teenagers who used dangerous weapons to terrorise villagers in Bamaina Town.
