In a shocking incident on December 31, 2023, Yusuf Haruna, an 18-year-old thug, brutally ended the life of 45-year-old Kano Imam, Mallam Sani Mohammed Shuaibu.
The heinous act unfolded during ablution, as the young perpetrator, known as Lagwatsani, took violent action against the Imam for admonishing him and his gang regarding their illicit use of Indian hemp near the mosque.
The fateful day of December 31, 2023, witnessed the tragic demise of Mallam Sani Mohammed Shuaibu, a revered 45-year-old Imam in Jakara Quarters, Kano.
Yusuf Haruna, notorious as Lagwatsani, plunged a sharp knife into the Imam’s back during ablution, following a stern warning against smoking Indian hemp around the sacred mosque premises.
The Kano Police Command swiftly responded to the senseless murder, apprehending Yusuf Haruna, also known as Lagwatsani, the 18-year-old assailant from Dala Local Government Area.
Mallam Sani Mohammed Shuaibu’s fatal stabbing sent shockwaves through the community, prompting a determined effort by law enforcement to bring the perpetrator to justice.
In a parallel development, the Kano Police Command secured a surrender from 12 drummers notorious for promoting thuggery and criminal activities through their drumming.
Hailing from Rijiyar Lemo and Kurna Quarters, these drummers played a role in instigating thugs (‘yandaba) during hunting exercises and related events across the state.
The surrender of the 12 drummers marks a positive turn in the ongoing efforts of the Kano Police Command to curb criminal activities.
Once considered instigators of conflict, these individuals have acknowledged their past mistakes, willingly submitting themselves to the authorities.
The Kano Police Command hopes for a cooperative effort to maintain peace in Dala and its environs.
