Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Mallam Sagir Takai over the
alleged murder of a 70-year-old man.
According to Punch, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP
Magaji Majiya, disclosed that investigation into the alleged case of
homicide involving Takai and some of his supporters had commenced.
Majiya stated that the suspect had been invited to report to the state
police command on Monday for interrogation.
He said, "On Saturday, Takai and his supporters were travelling in a
convoy when they arrived Ahmadu Bello Way roundabout. Someone in the
convoy wielding a long knife descended on the 70-year-old passer-by
and stabbed him on the head, inflicting grievous hurt on the man.
''The invitation extended to Takai is to give him an opportunity to
defend himself as well as explain his role in the tragedy.'
"The political allies of Takai informed the police command that Takai
would be returning to Kano through Mallam Aminu Kano International
Airport on Saturday and requested for police escort, an application
that was granted by CP Rabiu Yusuf.
"To our surprise, despite the policemen assigned to the entourage of
the PDP candidate, we discovered that among them were persons that
were armed with dangerous weapons which they continued to display
flagrantly until the unfortunate incident occurred at Ahmadu Bello Way
roundabout.''
The PPRO added that those suspected to be culpable in the matter had
been uncovered and would be dealt with, according to the provisions of
the law.
