Former federal legislator, Senator Shehu Sani, has expressed deep sorrow over the brutal killing of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Rano Police Division in Kano State. The officer lost his life during a violent protest triggered by the death of a local resident.

The unrest erupted in Rano Local Government Area after Abdullahi Musa, a motorcycle mechanic, was arrested for allegedly riding under the influence and in a dangerous manner.

Authorities reported that Musa began showing signs of physical distress while in custody. He was taken to Rano General Hospital, where he passed away on May 26 while receiving medical attention.

In reaction to his death, an angry crowd reportedly stormed the Rano Police Division, setting parts of the station and two vehicles on fire.

The DPO sustained critical injuries during the incident and later died at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.

Reacting to the tragedy, Senator Shehu Sani condemned the mob attack in a post on X and called for the immediate apprehension and prosecution of those responsible.

He wrote:

“I briefly watched the video of the brutal murder of the DPO of Rano Police Station in Kano State by a mob. They tortured and butchered the police officer to death for performing his duty.

“He was said to have left behind a wife and four children. That despicable crime must not go unpunished. The perpetrators in that footage must all be brought to book. May his soul rest in peace, Amin.”
