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.

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
