The Kano state police command says it has arrested “18 street urchins” for allegedly conspiring to attack the public.
Usaini Gumel, commissioner of police in Kano, told NAN that “the suspects are members of an unlawful society poised to launch unprovoked attacks on innocent members of the public”.
He gave the names of the suspects as Mazaunar Tanko, Dandishe, Kofar Dan Agundi, Kofar Mata, and Filin Idi; Kofar Na’Isa, Kwanar Diso, Kukar Bulukiya and Dorayi Babba.
Gumel said items recovered from the suspects were dangerous weapons and marijuana-suspended dry weed.
