Police Arrest 57 Suspected Looters In Kano
Kano State police have detained 57 people for allegedly stealing from public facilities.
This was said in a statement given to DAILY POST on Saturday and signed by SP Abdullah Haruna Kiyawa, the command’s public relations officer.
This comes after the destruction of unauthorized buildings in the Kano metropolitan region was started by the Kano State Government.
According to Kiyawa, the arrest came as a result of information that certain criminals were using the demolition project as an excuse to rob individuals of their possessions.
According to the statement, “This is in addition to the 49 suspects arrested and charged to Magistrates Court for offenses of criminal trespass, mischief, shop-breaking and theft.”

He reiterated that policing is a collective responsibility and therefore calls on parents and community leaders to admonish their wards and youths to desist from looting people’s properties, as anyone arrested will face the full wrath of the law.
“CP advised parents and community leaders to admonish their wards and youths to desist from looting people’s property,” the statement warned.
