Birnin Kudu Local Government Area recently witnessed a significant breakthrough in crime prevention as the Jigawa State Police Command dismantled a notorious scam cartel operating within the region. The operation, announced by Deputy Public Relations Officer ASP Ibrahim Sunusi Idris, resulted in the arrest of 13 suspects connected to the fraudulent network.
During the raid, officers recovered a large quantity of counterfeit currency alongside several motorcycles suspected to be contraband. This development underscores the police command’s intensified efforts to curb the rising tide of fraud and criminal activity in Jigawa State.
The proliferation of fake currency scams has emerged as a pressing challenge across Nigeria, with countless victims falling prey to these sophisticated schemes. In response, the Jigawa State Police have been actively raising public awareness and encouraging citizens to report any suspicious behavior to aid ongoing investigations.
This successful cartel bust highlights the police’s unwavering commitment to upholding law and order. Authorities have called on the public to provide further information that may assist in identifying and prosecuting individuals involved in illicit activities.
