The Zamfara State Police Command has arrested two suspects, Mansur Haruna and Ibrahim Nababa, for allegedly killing a veteran journalist, Hamisu Danjibga, in the state.

The suspects were paraded on Tuesday evening at the police command headquarters in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, by the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Shehu Dalijan.

Dalijan said that the late Danjibga, a reporter with the Voice of Nigeria, was killed by his nephew, Mansur Haruna, and his friend, Ibrahim Nababa.

He claimed that the two suspects were arrested when the police swung into action following the killing of the journalist.

The commissioner of police noted that the prime suspect, Mansur Haruna, has confessed to the police how they struggled with Danjibga as they wanted to kidnap him and all that transpired, which led to their final decision to kill him.

Meanwhile, the police also arrested a suspected bandit who specialises in bringing military hardware from Aba in Abia State to a bandit’s enclave in Kaura-Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
