A young Nigerian man who has been identified as Anas Sa’idu has been arrested in Kano state.
The young man was nabbed for allegedly kidnapping and murdering a 16-year-old boy identified as Tijjani Kabiru.
Kano police spokesperson, DSP Abdullahi Haruna said the incident occurred at Kwanar Gwarmai Village in the Bebeji Local Government Area of the state.
