The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kano State has confirmed that a mob attacked its outpost in Danmaje, Dawakin Kudu Local Government Area, killing three suspects.

In a press statement dated December 29, 2025, and signed by SC Ibrahim Idris Abdullahi, the Command Public Relations Officer, the NSCDC said the incident happened on Sunday, December 28, around 10:30pm.

According to the statement, residents of Yansango community brought three unknown men, suspected to be motorcycle thieves, to the civil defence outpost in Danmaje.

The area where they were arrested is said to be notorious for motorcycle theft.

Before officers could begin any investigation, people from several nearby communities ,including Yansango, Madinawa, Gagarawa, Limawa, Yankatsari, Danmaje and Gurjiya gathered at the outpost.

The crowd reportedly surrounded the office and demanded that the suspects be released to them.

The statement said the situation quickly got out of control. Before security reinforcements arrived, the mob forced their way into the office, set it on fire and lynched the three suspects.

NSCDC said officers on duty managed to escape, but three of them were injured and are currently receiving medical treatment.

While calling on the public to remain calm, the corps said the state commandant, acting on the directive of the Commandant General, has set up a committee to investigate the incident.

The aim, according to the statement, is to identify those involved and ensure they are brought to justice.
