According to a statement from the Deputy Governor’s Office, the vehicle has been recovered following a swift and coordinated operation by security operatives.

Confirming the development, the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Ibrahim Garba, said the recovery was made in the early hours of Wednesday after an intensive search led by the police.

The Deputy Governor’s Office, however, expressed disappointment over what it described as “a clear breach of trust by the arrested driver.”

“The general public is hereby advised to remain calm and rest assured that the security of lives and property remains the top priority of the Kano State Government, both within and outside the Government House,” the statement added.

The police have yet to release the suspect’s name as investigations continue into the motive behind the theft and whether any other persons were involved.
