Two(2) Are Arrested By Police In Kano For Stealing Station Signposts

Two people have been detained by the Kano State Police Command in relation to the theft of a signpost from the Ungogo Local Government Area’s Bachirawa Police Station.

The encounter, which turned violent during the #EndBadGovernance demonstration, was caught on camera and went viral.

One of the suspects was seen lugging the stolen signpost in the video, which has subsequently received a lot of backlash.

After starting off as a peaceful rally, the protest descended into violence, leading to a confrontation with the police. Five people are said to have been shot during the altercation.

SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, the spokesperson for the Kano State Police Command, confirmed the suspects’ arrests in a Facebook statement on Wednesday.

Kiyawa claims that locals’ aid resulted in the culprits’ capture.

“The person who stole the Bachirawa Police Station signpost and the person who collected it are working hand in hand,” Kiyawa stated in his statement, which was originally written in Hausa and then translated into English. The neighborhood’s residents have proposed a new signage. We are appreciative of the Bachirawa people.

An important step in preserving peace and order in the area has been acknowledged as the collaboration between the police and the community. Bachirawa villagers have been thanked by the police for their assistance in settling the dispute and for erecting a new signage at the station. It is anticipated that the accused will face charges in court shortly as investigations continue.

The state’s police have reaffirmed their dedication to upholding justice and preserving tranquility.
