Kano State’s multi-agency task force arrested 27-year-old Ishaq Lawan Ibrahim, known as Malam Keya, in Port Harcourt over allegations that he financed and coordinated deadly gang clashes in Dala Local Government Area. He has been returned to Kano and remains in custody pending the conclusion of investigations and possible prosecution. Task force chairman Muhuyi Magaji Rimin Gado warned that alleged financiers of violence would be pursued wherever they are. The task force urged residents, community and religious leaders, parents, and young people to report suspicious activity and help prevent youth recruitment into gangs.
