Two 18-year-old boys, identified as Bagir Magaji Muhammad and Zaradeen Hadi, have been arrested by the Adamawa State Police for their involvement in criminal activities.
The suspects, members of the notorious “Shila Boys” gang, were apprehended after robbing a woman, Habiba Umar, of her phone on November 4, 2024.
Following the robbery, police tracked and intercepted the suspects, recovering the stolen phone, a sharp knife, and a horn.
The arrest is part of an ongoing effort by the police to target young criminals in the state who have been involved in phone snatching and other illegal activities, particularly in Yola and surrounding areas.
