The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers and recovered a stolen motorcycle and other valuables following a machete attack on two residents of the state.<\/p>\n

\n

The suspects, alongside a third accomplice who is still at large, allegedly attacked a 26-year-old man at his residence in the Rafin Makaranta area of Bauchi metropolis in the early hours of November 6, 2026, inflicting machete injuries on his head.<\/p>\n

\n

The attackers, reportedly armed with machetes, also dispossessed the victim and his friend, a resident of Makera area, of a motorcycle, two mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, power banks, an MP3 player, perfume and N45,000 cash.<\/p>\n

\n

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Nafiu Habib, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Bauchi.<\/p>\n

\n

Habib said operatives attached to the C Division responded to the incident and launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, leading to the arrest of two suspects on November 7.<\/p>\n

\n

He identified the suspects as Uzairu Rabiu, alias Gwano, of Zawiyya area, Bauchi, and Hafizu Abdullahi, alias Tora, of Gubi village, Bauchi.<\/p>\n

According to him, the operatives recovered a stolen Haojue motorcycle, two mobile phones and a Bluetooth device from the suspects.<\/p>\n

The police spokesman added that the injured victim was receiving treatment at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi, and his condition was steadily improving.<\/p>\n

He said efforts were ongoing to apprehend the third suspect and recover the remaining stolen items.<\/p>\n

Habib added that the arrested suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, commended the operatives for their swift response and urged residents to remain vigilant and provide timely and credible information to the police.<\/p>\n

He warned criminal elements to desist from violent activities, assuring residents that the command would sustain its operations to tackle armed robbery and other criminal activities across the state.<\/p>\n
