Four suspects have been apprehended for an alleged robbery attack on a poultry farm, with 84 chickens slaughtered and 13 crates of eggs stolen.
Upon arrest, 35 bags of chicken feed, weapons, and other items allegedly linked to the suspects were recovered.
Spokesperson of Kano Command of the Police, SP Haruna Abdullahi Kiyawa, who confirmed the development, said the recovery operation was carried out by Special Intervention Squad (SIS).
According to Kiyawa, the operatives tracked down the suspects in a blue Sharon Galaxy vehicle with registration number KADUNA MKA 692 ZB along Kofar Dawanau, Kano, on November 6, 2026, at about 8:10 a.m.
He noted that preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspects allegedly conspired with other accomplices, who are currently at large, to attack a poultry farm along Yankaba Road, near Tokarawa, Kano.
The Police said the suspects armed themselves with dangerous weapons before invading the farm, where they slaughtered approximately 84 chickens and carted away 13 crates of eggs and other valuables.
In the release, two additional suspects were subsequently arrested following discreet investigations and intelligence gathering, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to four.
Those arrested were identified as Mohammed Ibrahim, 33, of Mariri Quarters; Aminu Abdullahi, 32, of Dorayi Chiranchi; Lawan Dan Alhaji, 45, of Kurna Quarters, all in Kano, and Bashir Lawan, 45, of Katsina State.
Items recovered from the suspects include a blue Sharon Galaxy vehicle, 35 bags of chicken feeds, one blood-stained sharp knife, three blood-stained daggers and two fliers.
The Command said the recovered items had been handed over to their rightful owner, who commended the police for their prompt response, professionalism and commitment to protecting lives and property.
The Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, commended the Special Intervention Squad for its vigilance, gallantry and intelligence-led operation.
Bakori said the operation was in line with the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on intelligence-driven policing, proactive crime prevention and community-centred security strategies.
He warned criminal elements to desist from unlawful activities, assuring residents that the Command would sustain its operations to rid the state of criminal activities and maintain peace and security.
