coputa(m): 7:29am On May 27

The Kano State Police Command has confirmed the death of the Rano Divisional Police Officer following the protest that rocked the town after the death of a young man in police custody.

However, a total of 27 suspects have so far been arrested in connection with the incidents.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna, confirmed the death of the DPO in a statement on Monday evening.

“The Kano State Police Command is aware of an unfortunate incident that occurred on May 25, 2025, at about 08:15pm, in Rano Local Government Area, where based on public outcry and complaints, a motorcycle mechanic, one Abdullahi Musa, suspected to be under the influence of substances, was arrested and detained for reckless and dangerous riding.

“The suspect was taken into custody and later showed signs of weakness, prompting his being rushed to the Rano General Hospital, where he unfortunately ed away on May 26, 2025, at about 06:00am, while receiving treatment.

“Following the incident, some miscreants mobilised and attacked the Rano Police Division, looting, setting parts of it and two vehicles ablaze, destroying 10 other vehicles and seriously injured the Divisional Police Officer.

According to him, the DPO was rushed to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, where he later died while receiving treatment.

“Twenty (27) suspects have been arrested in connection with the incidents. The situation has been brought under control, and normalcy has been restored,” Haruna said.

He said the Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, after visiting the scene and paying condolence visit to the Emir of Rano, Ambassador Dr. Mohammed Isah Umar, ordered a comprehensive and transparent investigation to identify the remote and immediate causes of the incidents and bring those responsible for any wrongdoing to justice.

“The Command while commiserating with the family of the deceased DPO that paid the supreme price in active service, appeals to residents to remain calm and avoid taking the law into their hands, allowing the investigation to progress uninterrupted.

“The Command assures the public of its commitment to maintaining peace and public order in the state and urges everyone to co-operate with the authorities during this investigation,” the statement added.

RIP to the dead ones. However, police need to tell the public what killed the young man that led to this mob action?

Autopsy is needed here

Very unfortunate. Islamist in any form is bad

Deborah comes to mind, if the police had dealt a deadly blow to the culprits. They won't try this shit.

Protest is different from jihad.
