The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested four suspects for allegedly specializing in receiving stolen phones and changing their IMEI numbers to thwart recovery efforts.
Especially around the state capital, Yola, stealing of handsets mostly by a crop of youths called Shila Boys, is a common phenomenon but the police have always helped by tracing some of the stolen phones through their IMEI numbers supplied by people who report their stolen phones.
In a statement released on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state, Suleiman Nguroje, the police, however, said the four suspects now in police net found a way to change the IMEI numbers of the phones they buy from phone snatchers, to make the police helpless in their effort to recover such phones.
