Kano anti-thuggery squad arrests suspected phone theft gang leader
The commander of the squad, Nura Salisu Sharada, disclosed this during an interview with a local radio station in Kano on Sunday.
Sharada said the arrest followed the earlier apprehension of 10 young men suspected of stealing phones and money in the two markets.
According to him, the suspects identified Ali Baban Jakai as the person allegedly leading them, prompting operatives of the squad to track him down.
Meanwhile, the suspect denied any involvement with the alleged offence.
“I was involved in stealing phones and money from people for over six years, but I have since stopped,” he said.
He, however, denied being the leader of the 10 suspects arrested, although he acknowledged knowing some of them.
