The Bauchi State Police Command has dismantled a notorious criminal syndicate, apprehending a suspect and recovering stolen items worth millions of naira.

SP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, the command’s spokesperson, revealed in a statement on Monday, November 25, 2024, that the suspect, Ukasha Adamu, was involved in several criminal activities, including conspiracy, trespassing, key fabrication, store breaking, and theft.

Wakil explained that Adamu and his accomplices specialized in surveilling stores across Bauchi city, replicating keys to gain access, and stealing valuable goods.

“The suspect, Ukasha Adamu, a 23-year-old male residing around Ajiya Adamu Road, Bauchi metropolis, was arrested on November 11, 2024, at about 1400hrs. Adamu’s arrest is the result of a meticulous investigation conducted by the State Intelligence Department (SID), which uncovered a complex web of criminal activities,” the statement read.

“The investigation revealed that the (defendant) Adamu and his accomplices had been systematically surveilling various stores in Bauchi metropolitan, inspecting keyholes, and replicating keys to access stores and steal valuable properties.

“This modus operandi has significant implications for public safety and economic growth, as it highlights the vulnerability of businesses and individuals to targeted theft.”

The Command recovered several exhibits, including:

– One hundred and fifty (150) bags of 25kg parboiled rice, valued at N6,000,000

– Forty-three (43) cartons of I.R.S. spaghetti, valued at N774,000.
