The Sokoto State Police Command has taken into custody major suspects connected to a string of home invasions and thefts within the state capital. This is part of an intensified effort to combat domestic criminal activity, and authorities have recovered stolen valuables estimated to be worth millions of Naira.

The Command noted in a statement that the operation commenced on May 8, 2025, around 6:00 p.m., after a report was filed by one Mustapha Maikano, who resides in Mana Layout. He lodged the complaint at Unguwar Rogo Police Station following a break-in at his residence.

Maikano explained that unidentified individuals broke into his house and made away with various personal items. Among the stolen property were an inverter freezer, an LG plasma TV, a travel bag filled with personal effects, lace material, Atamfa fabric, a collection of bed linens, and a center rug.

Acting on gathered intelligence, police officers quickly detained a tricycle operator believed to have relevant information about the incident.
