The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Kano State Command has arrested a suspect in connection with a violent armed robbery incident.
The suspect, Amir Mohammed, 24, of Ja’en Quarters, in Gwale Local Government Area, was apprehended on 7 November 2024 by a team of Corps personnel on security duty at Sharada Federal Housing Estate, Kano.
The Corps Public Relations Officer in the state, Ibrahim Idris-Abdullahi, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
“The suspect forcefully broke into the house of one Mustafa Abubakar, stabbing him and his family multiple times on various parts of their bodies, leaving them in a pool of blood,” the statement read.
“The suspect stabbed Abubakar in eleven sensitive parts of his body, including the neck and chest, in an attempt to kill him and rob him of his smartphone and laptop, which he planned to use to empty the victim’s bank accounts.”
The victim was rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect had entered the same compound earlier on 1 November and robbed the victim of his two SIM cards.
“Efforts are being made to apprehend one other accomplice, Abbas Danmama, who is still at large,” Idris-Abdullahi added.
“Following our preliminary investigations, the case will be handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and necessary legal action.”
