The Nigeria Police Force, Yobe State Command, said its operatives have arrested 108 suspects for various crimes, including those who defied the curfew imposed in the affected areas.
The Command disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday through its Public Relations Officer, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim.
It also noted that efforts were ongoing to recover stolen property with discreet investigations underway.
“During the three-day protest, the command recorded significant damage to public infrastructure, private businesses, and unrest, leading to injuries, losses, and casualties that cannot be alleviated quickly.
“However, timely security measures have mitigated the effects of criminal activities in the state, particularly in Potiskum, Nguru, and Gashua LGAs”, the Command said.
It appealed to the public to report miscreants with stolen property and warned criminal elements that they would be held accountable under the law.
