A Magistrate’s Court in Bauchi State has convicted two men of conspiracy, criminal trespass, housebreaking and theft after they were prosecuted by the Bauchi State Police Command for their involvement in a burglary in Liman Katagum, Bauchi Local Government Area.
The conviction was announced in a statement released on Thursday by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Nafiu Habib.
According to the police, the case began after a resident of Bandan Village reported to the Liman Katagum Police Division on June 27, 2026, that his house had been broken into several weeks earlier.
The convicts, identified as 28-year-old Iliyasu Musa and Ibrahim Isah, both from Baluwa Village, were accused of working together to force their way into the residence and steal several personal belongings.
Items stolen during the incident included two Android phones, two keypad phones, a power bank, N20,000 in cash, two T-shirts and a wristwatch. Police estimated the value of the stolen property at about N244,000.
SP Habib said detectives traced and arrested the suspects during the investigation. He added that both men admitted their roles in the crime before they were arraigned.
“Following preliminary investigations, the two suspects were arrested. They confessed to the offence during interrogation and were subsequently charged to court, where they were convicted,” the police spokesperson said.
Reacting to the outcome of the case, the Commissioner of Police in Bauchi State, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, praised the Divisional Police Officer and the investigating team for their professionalism.
