Shamsiyya, a resident of Brigade Quarters, Kano, was apprehended on December 21, 2024, following numerous complaints of stolen mobile phones in Unguwa Uku Quarters, Kano.
Throughout 2024, the police received multiple reports regarding a young lady who frequently stole mobile phones from residential houses.
Investigations revealed that Shamsiyya collaborated with a tricycle rider and a cybercriminal to facilitate her operations.
Acting on these reports, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, established a special intervention squad that led to Shamsiyya’s arrest.
The syndicate led by Shamsiyya Adamu employed a strategic modus operandi to execute their criminal activities.
The group would deceive housewives, steal their mobile phones, and subsequently defraud money from their bank accounts.
Apart from Shamsiyya, other arrested suspects include 23-year-old Idris Yusuf, a tricycle rider who transported her to commit crimes; 24-year-old Al’asan Dahiru, responsible for disposing of stolen items; 27-year-old Abdulmajid Haruna, a buyer of stolen properties from whom six mobile phones were recovered; and 21-year-old Salim Auwalu, a cybercriminal who specialized in swindling money from victims’ bank accounts.
The police have so far recovered six mobile phones and are intensifying their efforts to recover more stolen items.
