The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has busted a renowned motorcycle gang terrorizing the residents of Jahun Local Government in Jigawa State.

According to NSCDC spokesman CSC Adamu Shehu of Jigawa State Command, the operatives of the NSCDC were successful in arresting two of the syndicate members for their participation in a case of theft and criminal conspiracy in violation of sections 97 and 286 of the Penal Code Law.
