Kaduna – The Kaduna State Police
Command, on Monday said it had arraigned 115 street gang members, locally known
as “Yan Sara-Suka” for allegedly terrorising communities in the state.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Zubairu
Abubakar said in Kaduna that the arraignment followed massive raid of the
gangs’ hideouts across the state.
Gov. Nasiru El-Rufa’i had recently
directed the police to rid the state of the terror gangs that had killed and
maimed several people in the state.
Abubakar said 38 of those arraigned
before various courts in the state were facing charges of criminal conspiracy
and terrorism, 32 for possession of hard drugs and 45 for terrorism and
culpable homicide.
He said that the arrest of the
suspects was facilitated by the cooperation of communities, especialy in areas
such as Rigasa in Kaduna metropolis.
The police spokesman said special
patrols were continuing in areas notorious for criminal activities in the
state.
“Kaduna is now very calm, and we
need the cooperation of the general public to make the state safer for all.
“The police will not allow any
miscreant to cause unrest in the society. Such person will be arrested and
prosecuted instantly.”
Abubakar appealed to the general
public to be law abiding and continue to support the police and other security
agencies to discharge their duties more effectively.(NAN)
