Four men have been apprehended by the vigilantes in Gurungawa town in Kumbotso LGA of Kano State, for stealing dogs and ducks.
Vigilante commandant of the town, Abdulhamid Dan-Azumi, said that his men noticed the movement of the suspects around 3 am when dogs were barking, noting that the suspects killed one of the dogs.
The suspects have been identified as Sunusi Muhammad Abubakar, Sulaiman Baffa and Buhari Adamu, all of Sheka Quarters, Kano; and Walid Ishak of Gandun Albasa area of Kano.
Azumi said;
“After we arrested them, we discovered that they had been in the act for a long time. One of them is known for stealing dogs to send them to the Southern part of the country.
“We also recovered weapons from them. We will hand them over to the police.”
Upon being interrogated, one of the suspects said;
“For the dog, we bought it and one of us is taking them to the South. But we just saw the ducks on the way and put them inside sacks. This will be our last God’s willing.”
