They were nabbed by a renowned independent crime tracker, Isyaku Abdullahi Kontagora, at the Liyafa area in Katsina metropolis, who swiftly handed them over to the police, and ensured they were arraigned in court immediately.
The thieves, who are in their 20s, had been terrorising residents of Liyafa area of Katsina in recent times. Kontagora, who won Security and Emergency Management Awards in 2020 for facilitating the arrests of suspected armed robbers, kidnappers and assassins in Kaduna, Niger and the nation’s capital – Abuja, told PRNigeria that he nabbed the two hoodlums at about 12am on Wednesday.
He said luck ran out of the thieves after they had violently assaulted a man around Liyafa round-about, ‘forcefully’ collecting his phone and money.“I arrested them immediately after they had finished robbing a resident. And I thereafter handed them over to some police officers, who were at a nearby checkpoint. I also ensured they were arraigned in court within 24 hours,” he said.
It was learnt that a sword, some cash and a phone were recovered from the two suspects, who a Katsina court had ordered to be remanded in police custody.

Falana seeks presidential pardon for petty thieves | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World NewsRights activist, Mr Femi Falana (SAN) on Friday in Ikeja urged the Federal Government to extend Thursday’s presidential pardon granted some top Nigerians, to people serving terms for petty offences. This erudite should be contesting for the seat of president. Great Mentor Sir why are u requesting for the unacceptable, the un-diggable well. Well I agree with you, because those who stole billions & general top thief are pardoned So those one don't deserve pardon. But the ones who stole their states dry and by inference the nation are the ones who deserve pardon. The way of justice in our nation is funny. When it is the poor, use the sledge hammer. But the rich, pamper them, temper justice with mercy.
