Hoodlums Kill NSCDC Volunteer in Kano, Four Suspects Arrested
Global Mirror News has gathered that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kano State Command, has strongly condemned the killing of one of its volunteers, Abdurrauf Sheriff, who was allegedly stabbed to death by suspected hoodlums while on duty in Kano.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred along Gyadi Gyadi Court Road as the volunteer was carrying out his lawful assignment.
The Kano State Command described the act as a brutal and unacceptable attack on public safety personnel.
In a statement issued on Friday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Abdullahi, the Corps confirmed that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the killing.
According to the statement, the suspects were apprehended with dangerous items, including a hacksaw, locally made weapons known as Danbida, and illicit drugs.
“The unfortunate incident is a grievous act of violence that the Corps will not tolerate,” Abdullahi stated.
“The four suspects are currently in custody and are cooperating with Security Agencies as investigations continue, with a view to ensuring that justice is served.”
Global Mirror News further reports that the Kano State Commandant of the NSCDC, Commandant Mohammed Hassan Agalama, has expressed deep condolences to the family of the deceased volunteer.
He reassured residents of the State that the Corps remains committed to working closely with other Security Agencies to rid Kano of criminal elements and safeguard lives and property.
Given the nature of the offence, which has been classified as culpable homicide, the NSCDC disclosed that the suspects would be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation and prosecution in line with the law.
The Command also appealed to members of the public to remain calm and continue to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information that could help prevent further criminal activities across the State.
