The police in Katsina State have arrested one of the suspected killers of the former District Head of Yantumaki, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Maidabino, who was killed on June 1, 2020.

While parading the suspect at the command headquarters on Tuesday, the police spokesman in the state, SP Gambo Isah, said the suspect, Yusuf Abdulla, 20, was arrested on December 3.

He recalled that the late Maidabino was shot and killed alongside his night watchman.

“In the course of an investigation, the suspect confessed to have participated in the crime along with the following suspected bandits: Shamsu, Ibrahim, Salmanu and Kabir (now at large, hibernating in the forest).

SP Isah said the suspect would be charged with terrorism, murder, kidnapping, criminal trespassing and other related offences as soon as the investigation was concluded.

In another development, the command yesterday said it succeeded in smashing a notorious gang of transborder car thieves that operated in Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna and Katsina states and transporting them to the Niger Republic for sale. 

“Nemesis caught up with members of the gang when they were accosted with a stolen motor vehicle, Toyota Camry, light blue, with registration number JJJ 340 EF and another motor vehicle, Honda CRV, ash in colour, with registration number DKA 980 AH at a mechanical workshop at Kofar Sauri-Kaita Road, Katsina,” Isah said.

He gave the names of the suspects as Usman Sani, 50, Lukman Magaji, 20, and Yakubu Ismail, 25.

“In the course of the investigation, suspects confessed to have stolen the motor vehicles from Kano and on their way to dispose of them at the Niger Republic. Suspects confessed to having disposed up seven motor vehicles at the same Niger Republic,” he added.
