**Kano Police Crack Down on Car Theft, Recover Several Vehicles** In a major breakthrough, the Kano State police command has apprehended four suspects and recovered four stolen vehicles in the state. According to a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the arrests and recoveries were made possible through intelligence-led operations carried out by the command's Anti-Car Theft Unit. The operations, which are part of the police's efforts to strengthen investigations and improve security in line with the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, reflect the command's commitment to combating crime in Kano State. The strategy is also in line with the vision of the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, to strengthen security and protect residents. In one of the operations, police operatives intercepted a dark blue Hyundai Elantra at the Naibawa Flyover Bridge in Kano on March 7, 2026. Two suspects, Ibrahim Muhd, 29, from Minna in Niger State, and Ahmed Sani, 32, from Abuja, were arrested while driving the vehicle. Investigation revealed that the car had been reported stolen in Abuja, and the suspects later confessed to stealing it. In another operation on March 9, the Anti-Car Theft Unit arrested Abdulkarim Mamman, 30, of Malali Quarters in Kaduna State, who was found with a Honda Civic car at Kwanar Dawaki along the Kano–Zaria Expressway. The suspect admitted stealing the vehicle from Karkasara Quarters in Kano. The command also arrested Yusuf Ali, 28, from Kaduna State, in connection with a silver Toyota Corolla that had earlier been stolen from Dutse in Jigawa State. In addition, officers recovered a white Nissan Sunny believed to have been stolen from a private owner in the state. The successes of the operations are a testament to the police's determination to tackle car theft in Kano State. The public is advised to report any stolen vehicles or suspicious activities to the police, who are committed to protecting the safety and security of residents. In Nigeria, where car theft is a significant concern, especially in major cities like Lagos and Abuja, the Kano State police command's efforts are a welcome development. The operations demonstrate the police's commitment to using intelligence-led and technology-driven approaches to combat crime and protect the public.
