In a statement on Monday, the Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Nahum Daso, said the state police commissioner, Naziru Abdulmajid, commended the Divisional Police Officer of Mallam Fatori and his team for their exemplary professionalism and integrity.

It read, “The Commissioner of Police, Borno State Police Command, CP Naziru Abdulmajid, PSC, commended the Divisional Police Officer of Mallam Fatori Division and his team for their exemplary professionalism and integrity in recovering valuable property belonging to a female resident of the community.

“The woman, who fled Mallam Fatori during a Boko Haram attack 15 years ago, recently returned and sought police assistance to retrieve items she had buried in the sand while escaping the incident,” he noted.

Daso said that through diligent and coordinated efforts, the officers successfully recovered “22 cc of gold valued at approximately ₦20 million, as well as a gold bracelet with chain worth ₦3.6 million.”

Muslims supported boko Haram when it started back then in borno, she probably was one and now look how far the nonsense have taken us to.....

EarthKing:
One interesting fact in all this is; police must definitely collect eye wey see must chop.

grandstar:
Police extrajudicial killings and the culture of impunity are the root of causes of the war today.

The police nor politicians who orchestrated the whole thing were never prosecuted for the hundreds of their members killed including their leader.

Boko Haram demanded justice but never received it.

23 million naira...?
I can never understand the value people place on jewelry.
I can invest in gold not because it looks appealing to me but because I understand it's value and worth.

You keep lying to yourselves

When ENDSARS protest occured during Buhari admin what did the entire core northern region do?

They did nothing, they were silent , they were even counter protesting at apoint

They said the opposition wanted to use the protest to remove their son

You can imagine

Please say something else.

Now that you guys have allowed Boko haram to grow and fester who has suffered the most, who is still suffering?

If not that Southwest and whiteman and the "federal govt" magnanimity, generosity and love for you guys ehn,? Your region is just like a pampered entitled overfed individual.

Look worthless like some ancient bronze coins.

I can never understand the value people place on jewelry.

DomPerignon:
Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years.

It is currently trading at over $4,000 per Troy Ounce from slightly over $2,000 early this year while your BTC has lost and will continue to lose value.

That woman is more financially savvy than you can ever be.
