“On June 28, 2025, at about 11 am, Tarmuwa Divisional Police

“Efforts are underway to apprehend the suspect”, the command

“On June 27, 2025, at about 5 pm, operatives of the Fika
Divisional Police Headquarters apprehended Musa Sule, 25, and Muntari Suleman,

investigations are ongoing at the State CID for subsequent prosecution,” said
the police command.
The Yobe State Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Ado, in the

peaceful resolution of conflicts and support law enforcement agencies in
maintaining peace and order in their communities,” he said.
CP Ado warned against the arbitrary use of illegitimate means in the guise of seeking justice.
