The Jigawa State Police Command has recovered a stolen vehicle following a robbery incident in Hadejia Local Government Area.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Lawan Shiisu Adam.
According to the statement, the police received a distress call at about 3:50 a.m. on 2 December 2025, reporting a case of criminal conspiracy, house trespass, and armed robbery at Gawuna Quarters, Hadejia LGA. During the attack, a golden Toyota Corolla LE with registration number HJA-15 AP and several mobile phones were forcefully taken away by suspected robbers.
Upon receiving the report, a team of policemen was immediately deployed to the scene and launched a coordinated pursuit of the fleeing suspects.
“The robbers abandoned the stolen vehicle and escaped into a nearby bush, thereby evading arrest,” the statement said.
The police successfully recovered the vehicle, which is now in custody for further investigation. Items found inside the car include five cutlasses, a knife, two torchlights, and a turban, believed to belong to the assailants.
SP Shiisu added that efforts are ongoing to track down and arrest the fleeing suspects.
