The suspects’ ages ranged from 20 to 50 years. Their names were provided as Dan Asabe, Mohammed Adamu, Audu Lemu, and Tanko Yusuf.
They were seized in various areas following the arrest of one of them, Adamu, who was seen wandering around suspiciously in the Garatu area of the state’s Bosso Local Government Area.
While briefing journalists in Minna on Friday, the spokesman of the Niger State Police Command, Wasiu Abiodun, said the suspects were nabbed based on credible information from residents.
“The suspects revealed that dead victims’ motorcycles are mostly expensive because it is usually sold with keys and it is believed that nobody would lay claim to them, while that of injured victims is less expensive.
“He (Mohammed) further confessed that he had been snatching motorcycles with one Basulube, who is currently at large, and that they usually sell such motorcycles to Alhaji Dan Asabe (aka Gindo),” the police spokesman added.
