This arrest and the associated allegations raise concerns about trust and public interaction with law enforcement. Impersonation of a police constabulary member not only undermines the integrity of the police force but also poses a risk to community safety.

The arrest was officially announced by SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the spokesman for the Jigawa State Police Command. This action underscores the commitment of the police to uphold the law and protect citizens from fraudulent activities. It also serves as a reminder for the public to stay vigilant against such impersonations and report suspicious activities to the authorities.

According to him,

“Reports of public outcry were received by the Kano State Police Command regarding some unscrupulous persons who were masquerading as members of the Police Special Constabulary and extorting money from members of the public, particularly in Sabon Gari, Fagge, and Koki Quarters within Kano Metropolis”

He said the Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, CP Salman Dogo Garba however directed the Divisional Police Officers of the areas to intensify effort and ensure the arrest of these impostors.

According to him, the suspect was arrested by some members of Police Special Constabulary at Koki Quarters wearing a black Police uniform with a camouflage peak cap.

Kiyawa said preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is neither a Police officer nor a member of Police Special Constabulary but an impostor masquerading as Police Special Constabulary, extorting unsuspicious members of the public.

He said four different sets of Police uniforms were also discovered in his residence.

The Commissioner of Police assured that the Kano State Police Command will not tolerate impersonation or extortion by individuals claiming to be Police Officers or members of Police Special Constabulary and will continue to take proactive measures to safeguard the well-being of all residents in the state.
