On Tuesday, the mother of an alleged wanted thug in Kano State turned her son over to the state police command.
The police had previously announced a N500,000 reward to anyone who found the wanted criminal, known as Hantar Daba.
This was announced by the state commissioner of police, Mohammed Gumel, in a statement signed by the command’s public relations officer, SP Haruna Abdullahi, and distributed to the media on Tuesday.
The press release went on to say, “During the last hangout event held at Sani Abacha In-door Stadium, Kofar Mata on October 17, 2023, that ultimately changed their mindsets, all of them with the last one; Hantar Daba now bringing himself in the company of his mother and his topmost former rival now bosom friend, Abba Burakita of Dorayi leading him to the police command.”You will recall that the top three are youths identified for promoting thuggery, namely Hantar Daba of Kwanar Disu, Nasiru Abdullahi aka Chile Maidoki of Layin Polewire Kurna, and Abba Burakita of Dorayi Karama Quarters, Kano, for which the police command placed a bounty of N500,000 on each person’s head after they were hesitant to respond to the police invitation within the time frame.
“The good news is that the last person, Hantar Daba, who had been on the run, finally surrendered himself to the police command yesterday, November 27, 2023.”His mother and some family members led him with delight and enthusiasm, suggesting that he participate in the state government’s amnesty program. He went on to say that he is sorry for his previous unsavory life and that he is now ready to contribute to the state’s promotion of peace and sustainable development.”
According to the statement, he admits to controlling more than 100 followers in his camp and wielding significant influence over them.
Meanwhile, Daba is being held by the state police command and is being profiled.
Gumel, on the other hand, urged anyone with information about Daba to contact the Police Public Relations Officer at the Bompai Police Headquarters in Kano.
