The Nasarawa State Police Command says it has arrested a 24-year-old Aondofa Chanzer for allegedly stealing a Toyota Siena car belonging to his father.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, DSP Ramhan Nansel, in a statement said the suspect was arrested in his hideout at Karu village in Karu Local Government of the state.
“On 13/4/2023 at about 7am, a complaint was lodged at Karshi Division that one Aondofa Chanzer ‘m’ 24-year-old took away a Toyota Siena bus with registration number Abuja ABC 714 FQ belonging to his father to an unknown destination, and all efforts to reach him or recover the vehicle proved abortive,” he said.

The PPRO, however, added that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Maiyaki Baba, had ordered that the suspects be charged to court upon conclusion of the investigation to serve as a deterrent to others.
