“The state government has banned night movement in the area the vehicle was heading to, and one of our duties is to ensure total compliance with the government’s directive in that regard.
“Earlier on that Saturday evening, we arrested three young men for attacking celebrants at an event in Tudun Wada area of Gusau metropolis. The hoodlums have a new strategy of phone snatching at ceremonies.
