He spoke when Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa visited him on his hospital bed at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital.
The Police Corporal told the governor how he and his colleagues engaged the attackers in a gun duel.
He said he exhausted his round of ammunition and took cover in a gutter, where one of the attackers used his riffle boot to hit him severally before fleeing.
In the process, he recognised him.
The suspect was said to have sought police permit for treatment for gunshot wound, which he allegedly sustained as a result of an armed robbery operation; but he was placed on the bed next to the police corporal. He revealed his identity to the authorities. The suspect was immediately arrested.
The governor urged youths of Zaria and other parts of the state to emulate the youths of Rigasa and Mahuta by mobilising themselves to apprehend criminals and terrorists.
The governor, who also visited Sambo’s family house, said security is no longer the business of government alone, but that of all Nigerians.
He urged residents of the state to be conscious and assist the security agencies to stop the incessant killings, pointing out that reporting suspicious individuals or groups to the security agents and traditional rulers for prompt action is of utmost importance to the development of the state.
He said his administration is committed to the protection of lives and property.
