Through untiring follow-up and coordinated efforts, the stolen  car was located and recovered today, 8th June 2026, along Gombe Road, Bauchi.

They are: Sani Saidu, 58-year-old, of Madaki Street, identified as the first buyer; Shuaibu Fagarau, 54-year-old, of Kofar Idi, as the second buyer, and Samaila Abdullahi, 46-year-old, also of Kofar Idi area, Bauchi.


All suspects are currently in custody and are cooperating with investigators. The vehicle has been recovered and kept as an exhibit pending the conclusion of investigations.
