He stated, “On receiving the information, the Commissioner of Police, Bashir Makama, gave a marching order to the officer in-charge of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, CSP Tijani Muhammed,   to move into the area and nip the planned attack in the bud.

“In compliance with the CP’s directive, a team of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad stormed the hideout, where four members of the group were arrested.”
