Sons of prominent citizens arrested in Kano
for killing 2 people during 'car racing'
The Kano State Police Command says it has

arrested 17 youths, including sons of
prominent personalities in the state, for
illegally racing with posh cars on New Year
Eve.
The state Police Commissioner, Mr
Muhammad Katsina, made this known while
briefing newsmen on Tuesday in Kano.
He said that the suspects were apprehended
by the police on patrol while driving at what
he described as ‘killer speed’ which led to
the death of two persons on the road.
“The suspects were arrested for failure to
obtain police permission before embarking
on the race," he said.
He said that as soon as investigation was
completed, the suspects would be charged
to court for prosecution.
According to him, it is unlawful for anyone
to block the road with no justifiable reasons.
“They flagrantly violated the law for illegally
racing at night which will not be tolerated,”
he added
He said those arrested included five children
of the Turakin Kano and District Head of
Dala, Alhaji Lamido Bayero, that of the
pioneer governor of Katsina State, General
Abdullahi Sarki Mukhtar (rtd) as well as
children of Professor Danjuma Maiwada, a
senior lecturer with Bayero University, Kano.
