Police Arraign 19-Year-Old Female Gang Leader and Accomplices in Kano-OXYGIST

The Kano State Police Command has arraigned a 19-year-old woman, Shamsiyya Adamu, and four accomplices for alleged criminal conspiracy, trespass, and theft. This follows their arrest on December 21, 2024, after multiple reports of stolen phones in the Unguwa Uku area of Kano.


According to SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the Command’s spokesperson, the suspects were brought before Chief Magistrates Court No. 18, Gyadi Gyadi, on Tuesday, January 14, 2025. Kiyawa also revealed that 12 stolen mobile phones were recovered during the operation.


The syndicate, allegedly led by Adamu, had targeted numerous victims in 2024. Among the complainants were 30 individuals, including 29 women and one man, who reported their phones had been stolen. During the investigation, four additional suspects—Fati Auwal, Kamal Sale, Usman Nasir, and Bashir Ibrahim—were arrested for theft and possession of stolen items.


Police investigations are still underway, with 86 victims so far coming forward to report losses attributed to the gang’s activities.


In a statement, SP Kiyawa highlighted the efforts of the Kano State Police Command in tackling organized crime.

“This breakthrough reflects our commitment to maintaining security in Kano. The arrests and arraignment of this gang are significant steps toward ensuring the safety of our communities,” he said.


Commissioner of Police CP Salman Dogo Garba commended the public for their cooperation and assured residents that the recovery of stolen items remains a priority.


The Command reiterated its resolve to continue combating criminal activities and encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and supportive of law enforcement efforts.
