In Kano, a 34-year-old man named Rabiu Mukthar allegedly opened fire during a wedding ceremony, resulting in one death and three injuries. The incident unfolded after Mukthar, residing in Tudun Yola Quarters, grew annoyed by the loud music being played at the marriage celebration. The Kano State Police Command's spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, confirmed the tragic event, stating that Mukthar emerged from his residence and commenced shooting at the attendees.
Employing a pump-action firearm, Mukthar unleashed sporadic bursts of gunfire, according to Kiyawa. Shortly after the incident, the police arrived on the scene, promptly arresting Mukthar and another suspect. The weapon utilized in the attack was subsequently recovered from Mukthar's possession. Kiyawa revealed that the suspect had informed investigators that the wedding organizers had failed to consult him prior to hosting the event, asserting that the incessant noise had disturbed his sleep and prompted his violent reaction.
The two suspects are presently under detention at the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Kano State Police Command as the investigation proceeds.
