Police on Wednesday killed no fewer than four suspected armed
robbers, who have been terrorising motorists on the Kwanar-Dangora Road
in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Aderenle Shinaba, who
disclosed this yesterday in Kano, said the robbers were killed following
an exchange of gunfire, near the Nigerian Law School, Kano.
“In the course of our special patrol in the night on Kwanar Dangora
Road towards the Law school, our team had an encounter with armed
robbers and in the ensuing shootout, four of them died,’’ he said.
The police boss said items recovered from the robbers included three
.9mm beret pistol, one .3mm special revolver pistol, two masks and
charms.
Shinaba said the command would not relent in its effort to ensure a
hitch-free Christmas and New Year celebrations across the state.
‘’The police are fully determined to protect lives and property
because Christmas is not meant for criminals but for the law-abiding
citizens. We will not allow criminals to take over the state as the
special patrol will continue throughout the period and beyond,’’ he
said.
The bodies of the four suspects, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said were displayed at the state police headquarters.
