Kano Police arrest notorious criminal Auwalu Dan Baba
The Kano State Police Command has arrested Auwalu Ali, also known as Auwalu Dan Baba, following an intelligence-led operation in the Dorayi area of Kano metropolis.
Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, said the 26-year-old suspect was taken into custody on January 31, 2026, by officers from the Dorayi Police Division.
The police described Auwalu as a known criminal who “has a history of coordinating and organising thuggery groups to attack and rob innocent citizens.”
The Command also revealed details of another incident in Sharada Quarters, where officers responded to an emergency call involving a suspected armed robber who was reportedly beaten to death by an angry mob.
According to the police, the incident occurred after an attack that left a woman critically wounded.
“The victim was rushed to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, Kano, where a police officer selflessly donated blood, saving her life,” the statement said.
Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, commended the officers for what he termed their “sacrifice and professionalism,” especially the act of blood donation. He also thanked residents for their “continued support and cooperation.”
The police further advised members of the public to stay alert and promptly report any suspicious movements or activities to nearby police stations.
