The Nasarawa State Police Command has recorded yet another breakthrough in its relentless fight against crime, following the prompt arrest of two suspected armed robbers and the recovery of a stolen vehicle in the early hours of Saturday, July 12, 2025.

At about 3:00 a.m., the Divisional Police Officer of ‘B’ Division, Lafia, received a distress call about an ongoing armed robbery at the residence of one (name withheld,), located at Shinge by Railway Quarters in Lafia. The suspects, operating as a gang, reportedly carted away a Toyota Corolla with registration number GRU 106 AE, along with a Jincheng motorcycle.

In a swift and coordinated response, the DPO and his patrol team mobilized to the scene. Acting on intelligence, they intercepted and arrested two suspects—Basiru Lawal ‘M’ of Rogo LGA, Kano State, and Dahiru Mohammed ‘M’ of Shinge Quarters, Lafia—at Jibo Filling Station along Jos Road, Lafia, in possession of the stolen Toyota Corolla.

Efforts are ongoing to track down the remaining fleeing gang member(s) and recover the stolen motorcycle.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed, commends the swift response and professionalism of the officers involved and reiterates the Command’s unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property across the state. He urges members of the public to continue supporting the Police by promptly reporting suspicious movements and activities in their neighborhoods.
