Security agents attached to the Kano State Government House have arrested a suspect in connection with the theft of a Toyota Hilux belonging to the Deputy Governor’s convoy.
The suspect, identified as Ya’u Gezawa, an official driver at the Government House, was apprehended on Tuesday by the Government House security personnel, reliable sources confirmed to The Historica Nigeria. Gezawa is currently in custody for further investigation.
The arrest follows the theft of the official Toyota Hilux from the Government House premises in the early hours of Monday. As previously reported by Daily Nigeria, the vehicle was reportedly driven out through Gate 4 around 5:00 a.m. without being stopped by the security officers on duty.
Insiders says that the swift arrest was made possible through internal intelligence efforts coordinated by the Government House security unit.
As of press time, the Kano State Government has yet to issue an official statement regarding both the theft and the arrest.
