A man was apprehended in Adamawa State while riding a stolen tricycle.
The man, Abba Suleiman, was picked up by police operatives linked to Song Division who were on a confidence building patrol along Bariki Sajo-Song, according to the state police command, which revealed this on Thursday.
According to the statement, which was signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Nguroje, Abba, 27, is a resident of Gombi, in the Gombi Local Government Area north of the state capital, Yola.
According to the statement, Abba was on his way to deliver the stolen tricycle to a receiver in Jimeta, the administrative and commercial sector that, along with Yola Town, forms the Yola capital city.
According to the police statement, anyone whose tricycle has been taken should notify the Divisional Police Headquarters in Song, near Gombi.

It is the only mode of transportation within major towns such as Yola, Mubi, and Numan, as well as between towns that are not far apart; cars, mostly Corolla Starlet models, are used as inter-city commercial vehicles on longer routes such as Yola-Mubi, Yola-Ganye, Yola-Numan, and the like.
