Kano Police Arrest 4 Over Poultry Farm Attack

The Kano State Police Command has arrested four suspects over an armed robbery attack on a poultry farm in the state, during which about 84 chickens were allegedly slaughtered and 13 crates of eggs stolen.

The suspects were also accused of stealing other items from the farm located along Yankaba Road, via Tokarawa, Kano.

The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

According to the statement, operatives of the Command’s Special Intervention Squad (SIS) intercepted a blue Sharon Galaxy vehicle with registration number KADUNA MKA 692 ZB along Kofar Dawanau at about 8:10am on November 6.

The statement said the suspects confessed during interrogation that they had conspired with other accomplices, who are still at large, to carry out the attack on November 3.

It added that the attackers “armed themselves with dangerous weapons” before storming the poultry farm, where they “slaughtered about eighty-four (84) chickens” and stole 13 crates of eggs, among other items.

Further investigations led to the arrest of two additional suspects, bringing the total number of arrests to four.

The suspects were identified as Mohammed Ibrahim, 33; Aminu Abdullahi, 32; Lawan Dan Alhaji, 45, all residents of Kano, and Bashir Lawan, 45, from Katsina State.

Items recovered from the suspects include 35 bags of chicken feeds, the blue Sharon Galaxy vehicle, one bloodstained knife, three bloodstained daggers and two fliers.

The police said the recovered items had been handed over to their rightful owner, who commended the command for its prompt response and professionalism.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, praised the operatives for their vigilance, describing their actions as part of the command’s commitment to intelligence-led policing.

Bakori also warned criminal elements to desist from unlawful activities, stressing that the command “will not relent in its efforts to flush out criminals and ensure that Kano State remains safe and peaceful.”

He urged residents to support the police with timely and credible information on suspicious persons and activities.
