Some villagers of Sumaila Local Government in Kano apprehended and
killed an armed man, who was suspected to be a member of the Boko Haram
and part of a gang that attacked a police station.
Another suspect was killed by the police during a gun duel.
The suspects came to the local government on Saturday on three
motorcycles, each carrying three passengers. They attacked the police
station at about 4.30p.m. but were repelled by the police. One suspect
was killed at the scene while the others fled.
However, as they made their way out of the area toward Kibiya Local
Government Area, they were pursued by villagers and the police. Another
suspect was then apprehended and lynched to death.
A police spokesperson, Magaji Majiya, told PREMIUM TIMES that the
suspected Boko Haram members faced a stiff resistance from the officers
attached to Sumaila council before back up arrived in the form of
heavily armed mobile police officers.
