Four Arrested for Killing Chickens and Stealing Eggs in Kano

The Kano State Police have arrested four people for attacking a poultry farm. They allegedly killed about 84 chickens and stole 13 crates of eggs and other items.

Officers from the Special Intervention Squad stopped a blue Sharon Galaxy vehicle with the registration number KADUNA MKA 692 ZB on November 6 at around 8:10 am. This happened while they were watching over Kofar Dawanau in Kano.

CSP Abdullahi Kiyawa, the state Police Public Relations Officer, shared this news on Thursday. He spoke on behalf of the Commissioner of Police.

“The suspects admitted during questioning that on November 3, they planned with others who are still free. They armed themselves with dangerous weapons and attacked a poultry farm along Yankaba Road via Tokarawa, Kano,” the statement said.

The police reported that the suspects killed around 84 chickens and took 13 crates of eggs from the farm, along with other items.

The arrested suspects are Mohammed Ibrahim, 33, from Mariri Quarters; Aminu Abdullahi, 32, from Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters; Lawan Dan Alhaji, 45, from Kurna Quarters, all in Kano; and Bashir Lawan, 45, from Katsina, KATSINA State.

Items found with the suspects include the vehicle, 35 bags of chicken feed, a sharp knife with blood stains, three daggers with blood stains, and two fliers.

The police returned the recovered items to the farm owner. The owner thanked the Kano State Police Command for their quick action, professionalism, and commitment to safety.

Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Bakori, praised the work of the Special Intervention Squad.

“I commend the vigilance, bravery, and smart policing of the Special Intervention Squad operatives,” Bakori said.

He added that this operation followed the orders of the Inspector-General of Police.

“This operation is in line with the Inspector-General of Police’s orders for ongoing smart operations, crime prevention, and community-focused policing,” the commissioner explained.

Bakori warned criminals to stop their illegal activities.

“Criminals should stay away from crime, as the command will continue to work hard to remove criminals and keep Kano State safe and peaceful,” he warned.

He also asked the public to keep supporting the police by providing timely and reliable information on suspicious people and activities.
