“On 5th May 2025, at about 06:40 am, the Kano State Police Command received information from a resident of Danbare Quarters, Kano, that two suspected armed robbers stormed the residence of one Shehu Muhammad, a 30-year-old male and attacked him with a long, sharp cutlass, inflicting multiple injuries on his body.
“Upon receiving the report, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, immediately dispatched operational teams with detectives to the scene. The victim was rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital for medical attention, where he was pronounced dead by a medical doctor,” Haruna said.
Haruna revealed that one of the suspects, 20-year-old Aliyu Umar, was apprehended at the scene, and the weapon used in the crime was recovered. He added that the suspect is currently assisting with the police investigation.
He assured that once the investigation is completed, the suspect will be formally charged in court for proper prosecution.
He reaffirmed the command’s dedication to upholding law and order and ensuring justice is served, while urging residents to stay alert and promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
“The Command commends the community members for promptly reporting the incident, assisting in the arrest of the suspect and in supporting the police in its efforts to maintain peace and security in the state,” the statement added.
