The Kano State Police Command has arrested several suspects following a clash between rival groups of armed thugs in Kano that left one person dead.
According to sources, the incident occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on March 17 in Jaen Unguwar Lalle quarters after a failed reconciliation meeting. A distress call from a resident prompted the Divisional patrol team to swiftly respond.
Police said the patrol engaged the thugs, restored order, and arrested the ringleaders, identified as Abubakar Abdullahi, 22, of Sabuwar Madina quarters, and Abubakar Bello, also known as Babuji, 18, of Unguwar Lalle quarters.
Three of the thugs sustained serious injuries and were rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital. One, Aliyu Abdullahi, 22, of Unguwar Lalle, who suffered a neck injury, was pronounced dead, while the others are receiving treatment.
Further police raids on suspected hideouts led to the arrest of eight additional suspects. Items recovered include a cutlass, a sword, and charms.
Sources from the Kano State Police Command said investigations are ongoing, and further updates will be communicated.
