The Kano State Police Command says its operatives have arrested a young woman, Ilham Kabir Karaye, for allegedly stealing a car belonging to her boyfriend.

The command’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Kiyawa, made this known via a statement issued on Tuesday.

Kiyawa disclosed that the woman deceived her boyfriend shortly after they stepped out to buy Shawarma on her demand in the Kofar Famfo area of Kano.

According to the police spokesperson, the command received the complaint from the victim on July 12 and thereafter delved into investigation that led to the arrest of the suspects.

He added that Karaye argued that her boyfriend was owing her N150,000 which he refused to repay which prompted her to take his car.

“He said he found out his car had been stolen and his girlfriend was nowhere to be found when returned from buying the Shawarma.

“The suspect told the police that she called another boyfriend of hers to drive the car away to his house pending when her money was be repaid.

“Ms Karaye and her other boyfriend are currently in police custody undergoing investigation before prosecution,” the police spokesman said.
