The apprehended five youths identified as Shila Boys
Operatives of the Adamawa State Police Command have arrested five young men who have allegedly been troubling residents of the metropolitan local government areas of Yola South and Yola North.
The Command which identified the men to be part of notorious youngstars called Shila Boys in local parlance, said in a statement that they had been on Police wanted list.
In the statement released Wednesday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, the Command said the suspects were arrested during routine operations at criminal hideouts and black spots in Yola South LGA.
The command named the blackspots as Yola Town Market, Wuro Hausa, and Damare.
“Those arrested were on the wanted list of the Command for shilla gansterism. They are currently under investigation to ensure that the law takes its course,” the statement said.
The Command, urging members of the public to help the fight against Shila Boys by reporting suspicious movements, said, “If you see something, say something, and the Police will do something.” (The Nation)
