The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers and recovered a locally made firearm and a stolen motorcycle during an operation in Nasarawa town.
The suspects, identified as Isaac Audu and Jamilu Yusuf, were arrested by operatives of the Nasarawa Division over allegations of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
A statement released on Sunday by the State’s Spokesperson reveals that preliminary investigations showed that the duo, armed with a locally fabricated gun, allegedly attacked a resident in the Foundation Area, behind the Federal Polytechnic Staff School, Nasarawa, in the early hours of Saturday, December 20, 2025.
During the attack, the suspects reportedly dispossessed the victim of an unregistered Bajaj motorcycle.
Following timely intelligence, police operatives trailed the suspects and arrested them shortly after the incident.
A locally fabricated firearm and the stolen motorcycle were recovered from them during the operation.
