Yobe State Police Nab Gang Leader: A Step Towards Safer Communities
The police in Yobe State have caught Haruna Mohammed, a well-known criminal boss who was causing fear in many places, including nearby states.
The police spokesperson, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, shared this news on Monday, June 17, 2024. He said Haruna was taken for doing crimes like scaring people, working with others to do bad things, and demanding money by threatening them.
DSP Abdulkarim explained that Haruna would call people and scare them into giving him money or valuable things by threatening to hurt or kill them.
The Police Chief, CP Garba Ahmed, has promised that criminals will find no safe place in Yobe State. The police have made another big step in cleaning the state of bad guys with Haruna’s capture.
Haruna, 40 years old and living in Lantewa Village, was caught by the State Intelligence Department (SID). He’s known for his scary phone calls where he asks for money or things from people.
The police were already looking for Haruna because he was scaring people in towns, villages, and even other states.
One person from Siminti Village told the police that Haruna asked him for N3 million or he would kill him and his family.
On June 16, 2024, around 2:15 pm, SID detectives caught Haruna in Nangillam Village after a smart operation. He admitted to his crimes and named other criminals who are now being chased by the police.
The Police Chief warned that anyone thinking of committing crimes will be stopped. He asked everyone to tell the police if they see any crimes happening and asked for help to keep the state safe.

The 39-year-old made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram after sharing a post by Rich Kleiman, agent to NBA star Kevin Durant, criticizing the media’s focus on negativity.
Kleiman wrote, “With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of the national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes… I, for one, find it all a waste of breath.” James shared the post, adding a simple comment: “AMEN!!”
In a follow-up post, James confirmed his social media hiatus, writing, “And with that said, I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care.”

Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.
At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.
The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.
The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.
Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
