Spokesman of the command, SP Magaji Majiya, made this known in a statement in Kano on Wednesday.

He stated that on June 19, 2018, the suspect, Mujahid Suleiman of Sheka Quarters, Kano, led his three gang members: Rabiu Sama’ila, Al-Amir and Uwardawa Abo, all of the same address but currently at large, for robbery.

He noted that “all armed with cutlasses and knives, they stormed into three houses located at Sheka Quarters in Kano, where they beat and injured residents of the house and made away with one Toyota Vibe car, cash and other valuable items worth N3.9 million.”
