In Kano State, a gunman opened fire during a marriage ceremony, resulting in one fatality and three injuries, according to the Kano State Police Command. The incident took place on August 16 at Tudun Yola. Command spokesman, CSP Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, confirmed the arrest of a 34-year-old suspect, Rabiu Mukhtar, who allegedly used a pump-action gun.
Mukhtar is said to have fired at four individuals, causing their injuries. The victims include Sadiq Abubakar, Umar Rabiu, Muhammad Sadisu, and Aliyu Mustapha, who were taken to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital for treatment. Aliyu Mustapha tragically succumbed to his injuries at the hospital, while the other three victims are recovering.
Police detained Mukhtar and another individual at the command headquarters in Bompai for further investigation. Initial reports suggest the shooting may have been sparked by objections to music being played at the event. The police assured that the suspects will face prosecution once the investigation is complete.
