A suspect has been arrested by the Kano State Police Command for stealing and abandoning a grey Rav-4 mini jeep with the registration number YAB 881 JK Abuja. The vehicle was recovered on December 28, 2024, during a round-the-clock visibility patrol along Kwanar Ungogo, Ungogo LGA, Kano State.
According to the police, preliminary investigations led to the arrest of the principal suspect, Bala Sani, a 40-year-old male from Funtua LGA, Katsina State. Sani was apprehended on January 4, 2025, at his hometown in Kwado Quarters, Katsina LGA, Katsina State.
During a preliminary investigation, Sani confessed to conspiring with another individual to steal the Rav-4 from Zaria, Kaduna State.

The recovered mini jeep is currently in the custody of the Kano State Police Command, while Sani will be charged in court upon completion of the investigation. The police are urging the owner of the motor vehicle to report to the Police Public Relations Office, Kano State Command, or contact 08067885568 with proof of ownership.
