The Adamawa State Police Command said on Friday that it had arrested the three suspects in connection with the robbery, which took place at Wuro Kuturu, a community in the Jimeta axis of Yola.

The command said the incident occurred on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at about midnight, when the victim’s son allegedly conspired with two others, armed themselves with dangerous weapons and gained entry into the family residence, where they robbed his mother and siblings of N200,000, two phones and a power bank.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Sulaiman Nguroje, identified the suspects as Aminu Adamu, 20; Adamu Mamman, 22; and Nuhu Umar, 22, all of Wuro-Kuturu.

Nguroje said the suspects were arrested by operatives attached to the Karewa Area Command on Thursday, September 17, 2026, following a report lodged by the victim.

Items recovered from the suspects include a knife, pliers, scissors, various suspected hard drugs and some quantities of Indian hemp.

“During interrogation, the suspects confessed to the crime,” Nguroje stated.

He added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Kabir Umar Hassan, had directed that a thorough investigation be conducted and the suspects diligently prosecuted.
