Following a mob action at the Garko Police Division in Kano State, at least one person has been officially declared deceased and several others have been injured to differing degrees.

The mob attacked the station in protest at the death of a Wudil resident who was allegedly murdered by three suspects, according to a statement released by the Command’s spokesman on Saturday.

The statement claims that Wudil Area Command officers detained three individuals in relation to the murder on Friday, September 5, 2025, and took them to the Garko Police Division for additional examination.

According to the statement, while the suspects were being questioned, a group of young people brandishing sticks and stones demonstrated against the victim’s death, “violently attacked the Division, disrupting police activities with the intent to lynch the arrested suspects”.

According to him, the mob activity caused serious property damage, including the destruction of three vehicles owned by the Hisbah and Garko Local Government Council, the smashing of windows of the police divisional building, and the burning of a divisional patrol vehicle.

“Three police personnel sustained injuries and were rushed to Wudil Hospital, where they are responding to treatment.

“Tragically, during the chaos, a burning tyre burst and struck one of the frontline attackers, leading to his death, and three others sustained injuries.

“The Commissioner of Police in a swift response directed containment operations, including stakeholder engagements that immediately restored normalcy and public order in the community.

“Meanwhile, nine suspects have been arrested for their roles in the mob action. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other perpetrators involved in the attack”, the statement added.
