The Kano State Police Command has apprehended a 20-year-old suspect, Usman Sagiru, from Sharifai Quarters, in connection with the deadly stabbing of a vigilante member who was part of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II’s entourage after the Eid prayers on Sunday, March 30.

The incident took place around 12:40 pm as worshippers were leaving the Eid prayer ground. According to police reports, Sagiru, along with other suspects who remain at large, attacked the vigilantes, fatally stabbing Surajo Rabiu, a member from Sabon Titi Jaba Quarters.

Rabiu later succumbed to his injuries, while another vigilante, Aminu Suleman from Kofar Mata Quarters, sustained severe injuries and is currently receiving medical care at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital.

Authorities have launched a thorough investigation to apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the attack. As part of the ongoing probe, Shamakin Kano, Alhaji Wada Isyaku, has also been invited for questioning.

The Kano State Police Command has reiterated its firm ban on Durbar celebrations, warning that any violations will result in legal action. The authorities emphasized their commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against thuggery (Daba) and any activities that could disrupt public order.

“We appeal to the public to stay calm and cooperate with the police as we strive to maintain peace and security in Kano State,” the police statement concluded.

Irene Ikejah, has accused her ex-husband of orchestrating her arrest and detention at the Ndiegoro Police Station in Aba after falsely accusing her of kidnapping her own children.

In an emotional outburst, Ikejah recounted how her former spouse leveled serious allegations against her, claiming she was involved in organ harvesting and rituals involving their children.

The ordeal began when she was arrested in Aba and taken to Zone 9 Police Headquarters in Umuahia, Abia State. After providing her statement and presenting her children—whom her ex-husband accused her of harming—the authorities granted her bail and scheduled a follow-up appointment in two weeks.

However, shortly after her release, another group of officers, allegedly from the Area Command in Aba, re-arrested her outside Zone 9. She was subsequently taken to the Central Police Station (CPS) in Aba, where she was detained further. The delay persisted until a court bailiff from the High Court in Aba served a detention order for both her and her children.

According to reports, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of CPS Aba declined to keep the children in custody due to concerns about the environment and allowed their grandmother to take them home.

However, Irene Ikejah was held at Ndiegoro Police Station, where she remains in detention until the next morning.

The Delta State Police Command has uncovered the body of 38-year-old Chigozie Udalor, a site engineer, killed and buried in a shallow grave allegedly by his employees.

This was made known in a video statement shared by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on Thursday.

Udalor, who was employed by his cousin to oversee a construction project, had hired four young men from Benue State.

On December 10, 2024, the workers reportedly conspired, attacking Udalor with a hammer and striking his head.

The suspects then buried his body at the construction site in a desperate attempt to cover up the crime.

The statement read, “A sad story of a 38-year-old man who was employed by his cousin as a site engineer. The site engineer, Chigozie Udalor, employed four boys all from Benue State.

“On 10th December 2024, they conspired and murdered him at the site using a hammer to hit his head and buried him in a shallow grave there at the site. Man’s inhumanity to man.

“His body was exhumed yesterday 2nd April 2025 after arresting two of the suspects.”
