The Kano State Police Command, on Wednesday, confirmed the arrest of seven persons during a clash involving factional groups of hoodlums at the Rimi Market area of the state.
During the clash, unconfirmed reports hinted that a policeman was killed but the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna, debunked the claim, noting that the policeman sustained injuries while in the line of duty.
He also said policemen detailed to restore normalcy in the area arrested seven suspects involved in the clash.
Haruna said, “The police officer was injured at the Rimi Market in Kano State while discharging his official duty during a clash by two warring groups of thugs. Seven thugs were arrested during the clash.”
He noted that the state Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Gumel, had ordered a discreet investigation into the case, adding that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.
