Police on Wednesday killed no fewer than
four suspected armed robbers, who have
been terrorising motorists on the Kwanar-
Dangora Road in Bebeji Local
Government Area of Kano State.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr.
Aderenle Shinaba, who disclosed this
yesterday in Kano, said the robbers were
killed following an exchange of gunfire,
near the Nigerian Law School, Kano.
“In the course of our special patrol in the
night on Kwanar Dangora Road towards
the Law school, our team had an
encounter with armed robbers and in the
ensuing shootout, four of them died,’’ he
said.
The police boss said items recovered from
the robbers included three .9mm beret
pistol, one .3mm special revolver pistol,
two masks and charms.
Shinaba said the command would not
relent in its effort to ensure a hitch-free
Christmas and New Year celebrations
across the state.
‘’The police are fully determined to protect
lives and property because Christmas is
not meant for criminals but for the law-
abiding citizens. We will not allow
criminals to take over the state as the
special patrol will continue throughout the
period and beyond,’’ he said.
The bodies of the four suspects, the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said were
displayed at the state police headquarters.
