The assailants are currently under investigation at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department and, upon completion, will be charged in court to face the full wrath of the law.
The Commissioner of Police expressed appreciation for the public’s continued support and cooperation.
He stated, “This isn’t the first time the Kano State Police Command has taken a serious action against criminal activity.”
