Three key suspects have been detained by the Kano State Police Command in connection with the horrifying murder of a housewife and her six children in Kano’s Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters.
The arrests came after intelligence-led operations were conducted at the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun’s request, according to a press release from Sunday.
The police commissioner, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, served as the coordinator for the operation.
CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the police’s public relations officer, made it known that the suspects had been detained throughout a nighttime sting operation.
A team of crack agents “reacted on credible intelligence” to find three suspected masterminds of the brutal murder of a housewife and her six children in the Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters, according to Kiyawa.
Umar Auwalu, 23, of Sabuwar Gandu Quarters, Isyaku Yakubu, 40, of Sagagi Quarters, and Wawo Wawo, 21, of Sabon Gida Sharada Quarters, were identified as the suspects.

The principal suspect admitted to the crime during interrogation and that the syndicate had been involved in a number of violent attacks in recent years, including the killing and burning of two housewives at Tudun Yola Quarters, according to the Command’s spokesperson.
Blood-stained clothing, two of the deceased’s mobile phones, a cutlass, a club (locally known as gora), and an undisclosed sum of cash allegedly taken from the crime scene are among the items recovered from the suspects.
According to Kiyawa, “these recoveries are crucial to the ongoing investigation, which is still being conducted.”
The Command praised the officers who participated in the operation and thanked the public for their assistance.
The Command’s statement concludes, “The good people of Kano State know that it will continue to work with all of its members to bring criminal acts to justice.”
A former Love Island contestant has been detained on suspicion of numerous crimes, including sexual assault. Late last year, the alleged events occurred.
In the midst of additional inquiries, the man, in his 20s, has been released on bail. The male, who has not been identified, was detained at Gatwick Airport on Thursday, November 27 – 12 days after the Met Police opened an investigation on November 15. A 29-year-old man has been detained in connection with an ongoing investigation by Met Police officers, according to a Met Police spokesperson. He has been charged with multiple offences, including sexual assault, stalking, criminal damage, and assault.
A man was detained at Gatwick Airport on Thursday, November 27th, and Met Police launched an investigation on Saturday, November 15. In the interim, he has been placed on bail until further investigation. Officers have provided specialized assistance to a woman.
Given the issues Love Island has had in the past, these incredibly serious allegations are the show and ITV need, according to a source. If any of this is proven, the network bosses will make sure to keep this guy from the show and any connections to ITV.
The police, according to the source, “know that this is taken very seriously.” The shocking news comes shortly after ITV struggled to air Love Island: All Stars’ third season. Due to wildfires near the South African villa where the series is being filmed, the series was scheduled to premiere on Monday, 12 January, but it was forced to postpone until Thursday, 15 January.
The most recent unfortunate incident to overshadow the contentious dating show is the police investigation. After struggling with drugs, 34-year-old Jack Fincham, who won season four of the show in 2018, revealed he had lost millions of pounds and was unable to go to rehab this weekend.
Sophie Gradon, who was a contestant in 2016, committed suicide in 2018. Mike Thalassitis, who had competed in 2017, took his own life the following year at the age of 26.
After hosting the series from 2015 until 2019, former show host Caroline Flack passed away in self-infant at the age of 40. Concerns have been raised by the well-being support provided by ITV following the death of former contestants and Flack.
Following the incidents, ITV implemented duty of care for those who watch the show before, during, and after their time in the villa and on television. Former contestants applauded ITV for doing more to assist those who had lived in the villa, and the improvement in support was applauded by them.
Amy Hart, who was a member of the cast for season five of 2019, previously discussed her experiences with social media. She said, “I didn’t really consider when I went to the villa that I was actually going to sign up for the show, not my family, nor my friends,” even though my best friend was very excited to run my social media account.
“But they were the ones who had to read the terrible messages and the death threats,” he said. While when I came out, I did so in a positive way because of the way I left, and those there who had a difficult time were me.
And Tasha Ghouri, the season eight star, said at the time, “I think this is great and needs to be done. I think it’s a clear step in the right direction, and there wasn’t as much negativity and trolling as I did.

After a strong performance at the AFCON tournament in Morocco, which ended with a bronze medal finish, Super Eagles forward Akor Adams praised the spirit and cohesion among the Nigerian team.
Adams believes the squad’s success in the competition highlights the level of the squad, which they recorded, recording five victories before eventually falling to the hosts on penalties in the semi-finals.
The best is us. The best team is ours. We were seeking the gold, but we did not receive it. We are proud of what we did. We have a very strong group. ”

After beating Egypt 4-2 on penalties on Saturday, Adams said in a post-match interview that everyone is coming home with a better friendship with the next player and as a better person.
The striker praised head coach Eric Chelle for creating a unified and disciplined organization in a short period of time.
Eric Chelle has done a lot for us as a group in the last three weeks, and we are all grateful for that. He made us a better version of ourselves.
He has given me the chance to represent my beloved Nigeria. ”
The forward’s personal difficulties were also brought on by his mother’s illness during the tournament.
Adams praised the support his family received despite describing the time as emotionally demanding.
Things will happen in between, just like there is in every other tournament, and there are family issues.
I appreciate that it wasn’t anything obstructive or out of control. The CAF medical team cared for her, and I’m also appreciative of that. She is now much better, and I’m happy to have shared this experience. ”
Adams acknowledged that the bronze medal still evoked conflicting emotions despite the team’s pride in their accomplishments.
The most crucial thing is that we won, he said, adding that celebrations would be modest.
Some people left with nothing and then returned. We’ll just try to eat first, then return to the hotel, and see what happens next. ”

Aryna Sabalenka, the reigning world no. 1, triumphed over Roger Federer and Rod Laver, who had the “pressure” of watching tennis legends Roger Federer and Rod Laver.
On Rod Laver Arena, a prone-to-error Sabalenka defeated French wildcard Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah 6-4 6-1.
Federer, a six-time Australian Open champion, and Laver, a three-time champion, had seats in front of the crowd during the first-round contest, with Sabalenka joking about making an effort to not look at them.
After taking a selfie with the pair, Sabalenka, who has twice won the Melbourne title, took a selfie with them.
“I wanted to show you guys some great tennis,” he said. What a blessing, I really hope you guys only had a small amount of enjoyment from it,” said Belarus’ Sabalenka.

Sabalenka has lost just one of her past 22 matches at the tournament, a surprise three-set defeat by American Madison Keys in the final of last year’s final, and has a strong record in Australia, dropping just one set in 2023 and 2024.
Her impressive form extends to Melbourne’s blue courts as well: five of her 22 career singles titles were won there, including winning the Brisbane International, which set her up for the major this year.
However, Sabalenka was able to overcome Rakotomanga Rajaonah, the world’s number 118, in a unique way.
In the opening set, Sabalenka had her serve broken, but 13 unforced errors in the match’s first game saw 16 winners and one break, 16 of which came after she had already broken the serve.
The match became increasingly one-sided after Sabalenka reeled off five games in a row to take control after salvaging a 4-4 break point.
“I didn’t start at my best,” he said. She came out swinging and playing great, Sabalenka, who is aiming to win the Australian Open for the fourth time in a row.
