Kano State Police rescue the Sarkin Noman Kano, Alhaji Yusif Nadabo, after a failed kidnap attempt in Garun Mallam Local Government Area. Police say the incident involves suspected attackers who invade the area and attempt to kidnap him, but the operation is disrupted.
The police command confirms the rescue in a statement through its spokesperson, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa. Vanguard reports that the suspected bandits abandon the sarkin as they flee during a police operation. Daily Post Nigeria and Vanguard both place the attack in Garun Mallam and cite the same timing around the 11:30 mark, though one outlet describes it as around 11:30 p.m. on Friday and the other references the timing as the incident occurs and is confirmed in a Saturday statement.
