POLICE NAB 3 SUSPECTS FOR CULPABLE HOMICIDE IN KANO 10-10-24
By Sadiq Aminu The Kano State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the gruesome murder of 32-year-old Dahiru Musa.
The Commands public relations officer SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa disclosed this while presenting the suspects before journalist at the Commands headquarters, Bompai Kano.
He said the victim’s brother reported him missing on September 29, 2024, suspecting his associate, Aliyu Adamu, who was later arrested on September 30, 2024.
During interrogation, Aliyu confessed to conspiring with Mubarak Abdulsalam to lure Dahiru to his house under the guise of land business negotiations.
Kiyawa said the suspects poisoned Dahiru, stabbed him to death, and disposed of his body in an uncompleted building nearby.
“Their motive was to acquire Dahiru’s landed property, as Aliyu was in possession of the land documents.”
He said Further investigation led to the arrest of Mubarak, who revealed that upon learning of Aliyu’s arrest, he and Sadiq Sunusi conspired to burn Dahiru’s body with petrol to destroy evidence.
The body was recovered and sent to Murtala Mohammed Specialists Hospital Kano for autopsy.
The three suspects are currently undergoing investigation at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Homicide Section, and will be charged to court for prosecution.
Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, commended those who provided information leading to the arrests and urged Kano residents to exercise caution when meeting people for business or social engagements, especially in isolated areas.
