Wakil explained that after the report was received, a team of detectives was tasked with investigating the incident and retrieving the stolen vehicle.
He mentioned that the detectives tracked down the stolen car along the Maiduguri bypass, near the Awala roundabout.

The PPRO stated that when questioned, neither individual could offer a satisfactory explanation for the vehicle, which led to their arrest for further investigation.
He added, “During interrogation, one of the suspects, Ibrahim Uzeru, admitted to have received the stolen vehicle from his employer and mentioned that he had invited John Paul to accompany him to Durum and hand over the vehicle to an undisclosed individual.
“Uzeru also indicated that he had promised John Paul a sum of twenty thousand naira (₦20,000) as his reward.”
The statement added that the Commissioner of Police for Bauchi State Command, Sani-Omolori Aliyu, has instructed that the case be taken to court once the investigation is completed.
