“All the 31 arrested suspects were females and mostly teenagers.

“Our men were able to arrest these girls at Sabon Gari area in Kano at about 3 p.m. on Monday.

“We screened them and immediately released those who are first-time offenders on bail while those who are habitual offenders were referred to the legal department for further legal action,” he said.
