The Kano State Police Command has detained a suspect following the death of an unidentified man whose body was discovered inside an unoccupied house in the Badawa area of Kano State.
The deceased, believed to be about 28 years old, was found with a deep injury to his neck, which residents suspect led to his death before help could reach him.
A resident of the area, Yusuf Da\u2019u Ibrahim, said the incident came to light after a neighbour alerted the ward head that a badly injured man was inside a vacant house and needed urgent help.
\u201cBefore emergency responders arrived, the police had already been informed. They quickly came to the scene, arrested a suspect and evacuated the body to the hospital,\u201d Ibrahim said.
He added that residents did not recognise the victim and said it was the first time such an incident had occurred in the neighbourhood.
\u201cWe don\u2019t know who the deceased is. This is the first time we have witnessed such a tragic incident in our community,\u201d he said.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Kano State Police Command, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said he had not yet received a detailed report on the incident.
\u201cI have not received the full report yet, but the command will investigate the matter to establish exactly what happened,\u201d Kiyawa said.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
