The Kano State Police Command has confirmed the tragic killing of a Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Baba Ali Mohammed, by a mob of irate youths in Rano town, Rano Local Government Area of the state.

Grassroots Parrot earlier reported how irate youths went berserk over the allegation that the DPO of Rano subjected one Abdullahi Musa to brutal physical assault, leading to his untimely death.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, disclosed the development in a statement on Monday, revealing that 27 suspects have been arrested in connection with the violent incident.

According to Kiyawa, the unrest followed the arrest of a motorcycle mechanic identified as Abdullahi Musa, who was reportedly detained on May 25 around 8:15 p.m. for reckless and dangerous riding and was suspected to be under the influence of intoxicating substances.

“While in custody, the suspect exhibited signs of weakness and was subsequently rushed to the Rano General Hospital,” the statement read. “Sadly, he passed away at about 6:00 a.m. on May 26 while receiving treatment.”

Following Musa’s death, chaos erupted as a group of youths stormed the Rano Police Division in retaliation.

The mob set parts of the station and two vehicles ablaze, vandalized ten additional vehicles, and inflicted serious injuries on CSP Baba Ali Mohammed.

The injured DPO was quickly taken to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano metropolis, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

In response to the violence, Commissioner of Police CP Ibrahim Bakori, PhD, visited the affected police division and paid a condolence visit to the Emir of Rano, His Highness Ambassador Dr. Mohammed Isah Umar (Autan Bawo 19).

He also ordered a comprehensive and transparent investigation into both the cause of the suspect’s death and the ensuing attack on the police facility.

“The command is committed to identifying the remote and immediate causes of the incidents and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice,” Kiyawa said.

The police have since restored calm to the area and are calling on residents to remain peaceful and law-abiding.

While commiserating with the family of the slain DPO, the command appealed to the public not to take the law into their hands and to allow the ongoing investigation to take its full course.

The police reiterated their commitment to maintaining law and order in Kano State and urged residents to cooperate with law enforcement agencies during this period.
