The suspect, a 35-year-old Hassan Iliya was arrested while trying to escape on a motorcycle.

A notorious armed robber has been arrested by the Kano State Police Command.

Two AK-47 rifles with 47 rounds of live ammunition were also recovered from him.

Spokesman of the command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, in a statement on Tuesday, said the suspect, a 35-year-old Hassan Iliya was arrested while trying to escape on a motorcycle.

According to him, “On 05/08/2024 at about 2am, a resident of Yandadi Village, Kunchi LGA, Kano State reported that armed robbers stormed his residence, attacked him, and robbed him of Fifteen Million Naira (N15,000,000.00).

“Despite the management of the ongoing nationwide protest, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, directed a team of detectives to conduct intelligence-led patrols to arrest the culprits and recover their operational weapons.

“On the same date at about 6am, the team arrested the principal suspect, Hassan Iliya, 35 years old, of Alhazawa Village, Musawa LGA, Katsina State, while attempting to escape on a motorcycle.

“A spot search revealed a sack containing two AK-47 Rifles with 47 rounds of live ammunition and cash, totaling four million, nine hundred, and eighty-six thousand naira (N4,986,000.00). Investigation is ongoing,” he noted.

While urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements and activities to the command, the CP tasked them to avoid acts capable of instigating violence, and remain patriotic.
