The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Kano State Command, has strongly condemned the killing of one of its volunteers, Abdurrauf Sheriff, who was allegedly stabbed to death by suspected hoodlums in Kano.
The incident, according to the Corps, occurred around Gyadi Gyadi Court Road while the volunteer was on official duty.
The condemnation was contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ibrahim Abdullahi, and made available to journalists on Friday.
“The unfortunate incident, which occurred around Gyadi Gyadi Court road, while the volunteer was carrying out his lawful duty, is a grievous act of violence that the Corps will not tolerate,” the statement read.
Abdullahi disclosed that four suspects had been arrested in connection with the killing and were currently assisting security agencies with investigations.
“The Command wishes to inform the general public that four suspects with dangerous weapons (hacksaw, Danbida, drugs) have been arrested in connection with the murder and are currently in custody, assisting security agencies with investigations, with a view to ensuring that justice is served,” he said.
Reacting to the incident, the State Commandant of NSCDC in Kano, Commandant Mohammed Hassan Agalama, expressed deep condolences to the family of the deceased and reassured residents of the Corps’ resolve to collaborate with other security agencies to eliminate criminal activities in the state.
The statement added that, following preliminary investigations, the case—described as culpable homicide—would be transferred to the Nigerian Police for appropriate legal action.
Members of the public were also urged to remain calm and continue to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information.
