Mr Kiyawa said the commissioner of police, Ibrahim Bakori, had ordered the closure of all entry and exit points in the state and directed the recovery of the vehicle and arrest of those involved.
“Following investigations, Ya’u Inuwa, a 50-year-old driver in the government house, was arrested in connection with the theft, and the vehicle was recovered in Unguwa Uku, Yan Awaki Quarters, Kano,” he added.
