The Kano State Police Command has recovered a Hyundai car stolen from a church premises in the state and handed it over to its owner.\n<\/p>\n
The vehicle, a gold-coloured Hyundai with registration number LAGOS AA 444 BL, was stolen on October 25 while its owner, identified as Mr Uchenna Emmanuel, was attending a church service at St Thomas Church, Airport Road, Kano.\n<\/p>\n
The command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Kiyawa, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday, adding that the vehicle was recovered three days after the incident.\n<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cEmmanuel, a resident of Sabon Gari Quarters, reported that he parked the car at the church at about 11am but discovered it was missing when he returned after the service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiyawa said operatives of the command\u2019s Special Intervention Squad launched an intelligence-led search for the vehicle following the complaint, acting on the directive of the Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vehicle was found parked within the premises of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital on October 26, but the person who brought it there could not be identified,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOperatives laid an ambush to arrest the person who parked the vehicle, but nobody surfaced to claim it,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
The police spokesman said the vehicle was subsequently recovered on October 28 and taken to the squad\u2019s office for investigation before being handed over to its owner. <\/p>\n
He added that Emmanuel commended the police for their prompt response and professionalism in recovering the vehicle.\n<\/p>\n
Emmanuel urged motorists to take necessary security precautions when parking in public places, including churches, markets and hospitals.\n<\/p>\n
The Commissioner of Police advised vehicle owners to install security devices such as trackers and pedal or steering locks and ensure their vehicles were properly locked and secured.\n<\/p>\n
The command said efforts were ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects, adding that investigations into the incident were continuing.\n<\/p>\n
Recall that on Monday, the Ogun State Police Command announced that it recovered an AK-47 rifle, ammunition and a Mercedes-Benz GLK in a follow-up operation after a robbery incident in Ota, Ogun State.\n<\/p>\n
This came a day after police operatives foiled a robbery operation in Ijaba, Iyesi, Ota, and recovered two other vehicles, suspected stolen property and a locally made pistol.<\/p>\n
