The Kano State Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation into the disturbing incident involving the b£heading of a six-year-old boy, Mohammed Saidu, allegedly by a 16-year-old Almajiri identified as Abdullahi, who was subsequently lynched by a mob in Kanwa village, Madobi local government area of the state.
The State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Usaini Gumel, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) revealed that the suspect, Abdullahi, a native of Zamfara State, was apprehended in Kanwa village by a concerned citizen while in possession of a bl@@d-stained kn!fe allegedly used for the crime.
CP Gumel revealed that when policemen arrived, the suspect confessed to the crime, disclosing that he disposed off the victim’s head in a pit toilet adjacent to the primary school.
An angry mob consequently descended on the suspect to lynch him. Abdullahi was rescued and rushed to Kwankwaso Cottage Hospital for medical attention, but he passed away while undergoing treatment.
It was gathered that Abdullahi migrated to the village in 2021 and left the vicinity four months ago before his sudden return to allegedly perpetrate his heinous act.
The Village Head, Umar Maitama Yusuf, confirmed the incident occurred around 9 am on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
According to him, the suspect had once worked as a houseboy for parents of the victims but was eventually sacked over alleged stealing.
“Abdullahi was brought to Kanwa over two years ago by one Islamic Scholar, Mallam Abdulrauf from Katsina. He stayed here for two years and left four months ago,” the village head said.
