Operatives of the Adamawa State Police Command have arrested four suspected armed robbers and recovered the tricycle they allegedly took from one Nuhu Muhammad.

The other two are Hassan Ishaka, 24;, and Shuaibu Abubakar, 19.
All the suspects are documented as being residents of Kwabura village, in Hawal Local Government Area of Borno State.
“Investigation so far reveals that the suspects boarded the tricycle as passengers to a certain location, around Viniklang, Girei Local Government Area. Upon reaching the Jimeta Bridge, the suspects applied force on the tricyclist, threatening him with dangerous weapons,” the police explained.
It added that the suspects pushed the victim out of the tricycle and went away with it.
“A swift response from the Jimeta Division patrol team led to the arrest of these suspects and the recovery of the tricycle. The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, assured that the suspects will be charged to court for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery upon the conclusion of investigation,” the police said.
“The World Health Day 2024, presents us with yet another opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to promoting the theme of this year’s campaign: “My Health, My Right.” This year’s theme emphasises the importance of everyone’s right to access quality healthcare and to make informed decisions about their health.
“I believe that health is a fundamental human right that should be enjoyed by all individuals, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. Access to healthcare services such as, clean air and water, nutritious food, and safe living conditions are essential for maintaining good health and well-being.
“As we celebrate World Health Day, I urge the federal government to continue to prioritise health as a basic human right. Equally important are for us to make investments in healthcare systems, policies that promote health equity, and initiatives that empower individuals to take charge of their own health.
“On this World Health Day, let us recommit ourselves to ensuring that everyone has access to the healthcare needed to thrive. Together, we can build a healthier, more equitable world for all,” Lawan stressed.
