Wanted Thug, Hantar Daba, Surrenders Self To Police In Kano

A notorious thug known as Hantar Daba and wanted by the Kano State Police Command, has surrendered himself to the Command.

In company of his mother and former rival Abba Burakatai, Hantar Daba submitted himself to the Police Command headquarters in Kano on Monday.

Recall that the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Usain Gumel, had two months ago announced the implementation of kinetic and non-kinetic methods of ensuring a crime-free Kano State under which the state government granted amnesty to some hardened criminals in the state, promising them a better life if they genuinely repent.

Several of them embraced the offer and handed over their weapons to the Police while Hantar Daba remained at large and was thereafter declared wanted.

However, in a statement issued to journalists by the Police Command and signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, on Tuesday, he said that Hantar Daba, who had been on the run, had surrendered himself to the Police and any member of the public with complaint against him should notify the Command.
