The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested two suspected armed robbers and recovered a locally made firearm along with a stolen motorcycle during an operation in Nasarawa town.

The suspects, identified as Isaac Audu and Jamilu Yusuf, were apprehended by operatives of the Nasarawa Division over allegations of criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
