KADUNA — The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested six suspects over the mob killing of two travellers at Gidan Kalu Village in Birnin Yero, near Maraban Jos.
The victims, identified as Muhammadu Sani, 45, and Aliyu Mohammed, 40, both from Umar Village in Igabi Local Government Area, were reportedly travelling on a motorcycle to Tudun Wada, Zaria, to visit a sick relative when the incident occurred on July 1, 2026.
According to the police, residents became suspicious after seeing the pair riding a new motorcycle and raised an alarm, accusing them of being thieves.
The victims reportedly abandoned the motorcycle and fled, but were chased by a mob, which caught up with them and beat them to death despite their pleas of innocence.
