Kano State Police Command Busts Female-Led Syndicate of Thieves, Arrests Five Suspects
In a significant breakthrough, the Kano State Police Command has dismantled a female-led syndicate of thieves with the arrest of five suspects. The principal suspect, 19-year-old Shamsiyya Adamu, a resident of Brigade Quarters Kano, was apprehended on December 21, 2024, following numerous reports of stolen mobile phones in the Unguwa Uku Quarters of Kano.
Throughout 2024, the Kano State Police Command received multiple reports from residents of Kano Metropolis about a young woman involved in stealing mobile phones from residential houses. These reports indicated that Shamsiyya Adamu was aided by a tricyclist and a cybercriminal in her operations. In response, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, raised a special intervention squad which successfully arrested the principal suspect in December.
The syndicate, led by Shamsiyya, specialized in stealing mobile phones from residential houses, using a tricyclist and a cybercriminal to facilitate their operations. The suspects would deceive housewives, steal their mobile phones, and swindle money from their victims’ bank accounts.
The arrested suspects include:
1. Shamsiyya Adamu: The 19-year-old principal suspect and leader of the syndicate.
2. Idris Yusuf: A 23-year-old tricycle rider who aided in transporting the principal suspect to commit crimes.
3. Al’asan Dahiru: A 24-year-old suspect who specialized in disposing of stolen items for the principal suspect.
4. Abdulmajid Haruna: A 27-year-old suspect who specialized in buying stolen properties. Six mobile phones were recovered from him.
5. Salim Auwalu: A 21-year-old suspect who specialized in swindling money from victims’ bank accounts.
So far, six mobile phones have been recovered, and efforts are ongoing to recover more stolen phones. Thirty complainants, including 29 females and one male, have lodged complaints against Shamsiyya, who has confessed to stealing their mobile phones on various occasions in 2024.
Anyone with a complaint against the suspects is encouraged to contact the investigation team at 08032617800.

Biafran Rebels Kill Cameronian Soldiers In Bakassi
Five members of Cameroon’s Rapid d’Intervention Battalions (BIR) were reportedly killed Friday morning, March 14, 2025, in the Bakassi Peninsula during an attack by Biafra separatist groups.
Sources close to the groups revealed that the assault was carried out by the Black Marine, the largest faction and the Dragon Fighter Marine afiliated with the Biafra Nations League (BnL).
“At around 6:00 am on Thursday, the group launched explosives, hitting their targets and neutralizing two warships,” the sources claimed.
This marks a violent resurgence months after the arrest of Simon Ekpa, with insiders citing lack of funds as a reason for the group’s previous inactivity.
Reacting to the attack, a source said, “The warships have been withdrawn. The situation is tense, and our men are fully back in action.”
BnL leader, Princewill Chimezie Richards said, “Biafra has come to stay in Bakassi not even Cameroon can stop us.”
