The Kano State Police Command wishes to inform the public of the arrest of a motorcycle theft suspect and the recovery of a stolen motorcycle in Badawa Quarters, Kano.
On 9th April 2026, at about 05:30pm, the Command received credible information that one Abdullahi A. Abdulhamid, male, aged 43, of Tishama Hotoro Quarters, went to Badawa Quarters near Nazalco Filling Station and stole a Bajaj Boxer motorcycle, red in colour, with registration number SRA 306 VF, belonging to one Rabiu Muhammad of Gezawa LGA.
Upon receipt of the report, Police officers were immediately mobilized for rapid response. The suspect was intercepted and arrested along Arewa Surgery by Ring Road in Badawa Quarters after being involved in an accident. He was brought to the Police Station alongside the recovered motorcycle for investigation. The suspect will be charged to court upon completion of investigation.
