Detectives from the Giade Divisional Police Headquarters have been a 20-year-old suspect, Usama Mohammed, in connection with a recent armed robbery in Giade Local Government Area.
On the night of August 2, a distress call alerted police to a home invasion in Jalo Village. Around 9:40 PM, four armed robbers, wielding knives and cutlasses, broke into a residence and stole an Itel A70 mobile phone valued at ₦75,000 and a Huawei phone valued at ₦30,000.
Responding swiftly, a team of detectives led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Giade arrived at the scene and successfully captured Usama Mohammed. However, the other three suspects managed to escape and remain at large.
