The Kano State Police Command has apprehended again a suspected leader of a criminal ring, Bahago Afa, who was reported to have recently renounced criminal activities. Six others were also rearrested in connection with armed robbery.
The police command stated that its officers have dismantled various criminal networks responsible for transforming the state into a center of thuggery, armed robbery, and other illicit activities.
The Commissioner of Police for the state, Usaini Gumel, revealed this information during the presentation of the re-apprehended ring leader and six others on Friday.
“Already, there are over 700 repentant criminals on our lists, and anybody among them that dares to go back will be declared an enemy of peace just like Bahago Afa and others.
“Today, we have taken care of Daba ‘thuggery,’ but they are today carrying out robbery activities, and conducting an organised crime that is now nothing but robbery.
“All those that are declared enemies of peace, 72 of them are wanted and anywhere police or any other person sees them, they should arrest them and bring them before the police.”
