A 30-year-old suspected robber and kidnapper arrested by the police in Katsina has confessed to killing two persons since his introduction into banditry.
Mohd Sani Tukur who hails from Kubau LGA of Kaduna State was arrested alongside three others – Ibrahim Umar, 18, of Maidabino village, Danmusa LGA; Musa Sani, 19, of Kankara LGA and Nura Usman, 20, of Kankara LGA – all in Katsina State.
Fielding questions from journalists during his parade at Katsina State Police Command, Tukur said “the two I killed were at Makarfi and Dandama towns. They killed my father and rustled his cows. I did it in revenge.”
“When they killed my father I did not know how to handle a gun, I later learned it from my boss, Bammi who used to buy them from Kaduna. I went after them and killed them,” he said.
According to the police commissioner, Mohammed Wakili, “on 17/11/2018, the Divisional Police Officer of Malumfashi Division, SP Atiku Yahaya and team, responded to a distress call at Gangara village, Malumfashi LGA of Katsina State, where the duo of one Alhaji Salisu Abdullahi and his brother Shehu Abdullahi both of Unguwar Kawo village, Dandume LGA of Katsina State, were attacked by armed bandits.
