The Police have arrested one of the suspected kingpins in the Mamobi-Nima riot and the leader of the ‘Bombom gang.’

Announcing the arrest on their Facebook page on Sunday, the Police said, Ali Awudi, who has been on the run since the violent clash in January, was arrested at Aflao through an intelligence-led operation.
