A suspected serial killer and notorious armed robbery kingpin, Umar Auwal, also known as “Abba Dujal,” has voluntarily surrendered to the Kano State Police Command following a series of clearance operations across the state.

Intelligence sources informed Zagazola Makama that the suspect, a male resident of Wudil Local Government Area, turned himself in to the Command’s Anti-Daba (Anti-Thuggery) Squad on April 14, 2025, at about 1700hrs, where he reportedly confessed to his involvement in multiple cases of culpable homicide, armed robbery, and the snatching of motorcycles and mobile phones in different parts of the state and surrounding areas.

Police sources said the suspect is currently in custody, while investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of his criminal network and bring all collaborators to justice.

The sources said that the surrender followed a sustained clearance raid carried out by the command on April 12, during which 61 suspects were apprehended at various black spots and criminal hideouts within the metropolis and its environs. Several exhibits were also recovered during the operation.

“The Command remains committed to rooting out criminal elements from all corners of the state and will continue to intensify its intelligence-led operations to safeguard lives and property,” he said.
