The Bauchi State Police Command has nabbed two Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) students for suspected criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, and theft.
This was stated in a statement released to journalists on Friday by the Command’s spokesman, SP Mohammed Wakil.
The statement reads, “On 26 September 2024, at approximately 10:00 AM, an anonymous individual reported to the Divisional Police Headquarters Yelwa that a group of students had assaulted two of their peers: Bamusa Mohammed Bako, a 25-year-old 400 level student of Urban and Regional Planning, and Yusuf Umar (also known as Danfari), a 28-year-old 500 level student of Industrial Design, both of ATBU Yelwa Campus.”
According to preliminary investigations, the suspects planned and broke into the home of Raji Rabi’u, a 28-year-old 400-level Estate Management student at ATBU in Bauchi, about 3:00 a.m. on the same day.
They allegedly stole various goods, including a 32-inch Hisense television, a DSTV decoder, a woofer, a speaker, a pair of shoes, a blanket, and a prayer mat.
“They will be charged in court once the preliminary inquiry is concluded,” Wakil told reporters.
